The Team has been staffed with the future leaders of our Department, providing the unit with some of the best and brightest employees in our organization.
These future leaders will understand the importance of developing quality and trusting relationships with all community members and organizations and work diligently to solve and address neighborhood concerns. Their supervisors will work closely with these officers to provide them with the necessary training, skills and resources to accomplish their tasks and develop them for future leadership roles within the Department.
As these team members promote and move throughout the Department, the knowledge and skills they have acquired will be implemented and shared with others; consequently spreading the vision of Community Action Policing throughout the Department and the community we serve.
Community Officer Duties:
- To approach problem solving in a variety of ways, such as participation in the Community Action Team process.
- Schedule and attend meetings with the community to provide crime prevention training, community awareness of crime trends, to answer questions and provide problem solving solutions.
- Promote Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts to make homes and businesses more secure; make recommendations on ways to deter crime and enhance security through improvements to lighting, landscaping, property and building design.
- Support communities as they organize and form crime prevention groups; such as Mobile Neighborhood Watch and Neighborhood Watch programs; to include training community volunteers and provide assistance and resources necessary to maintain these programs.
- The direction of the organization is intelligence-led policing and the fusion center will be the central point for all information gathering, analysis and dissemination to our partners. This change will boost community responsiveness while impacting crime and increasing public safety in the City.
