Community Oriented Policing

The concepts behind community policing is that police officers and private citizens work together and in creative ways to help solve contemporary community problems related to crime, fear of crime, social and physical disorder and neighborhood decay.

Officers assigned to Community Policing work with the community to address their concerns. They provide various programs that require community input, and are assigned cases that can best be solved by using community policing methods.

L.E.A.D.     

The Criminal Investigations Division(CID) has Officer's (School Resource Officer-SRO) that provides LEAD classes in all our schools. The LEAD program provides:

• L.E.A.D. promotes positive, pro-social attitudes and behaviors, while fostering healthy relationships, resistance to substance abuse and conflict.
• L.E.A.D. fosters resistance to negative peer pressure and influence and balances values for all types of responsible behavior.
• L.E.A.D. deters youth from bullying and violence.
• L.E.A.D. opens lines of communication between the school district and police to deal with a wide range of issues, such as violence in the schools, drug abuse, and any other problem about which there is mutual concern.
• Exposure to life in the public schools can broaden officers' perspectives on, and understanding of, community concerns.
• L.E.A.D. fosters the close and prolonged contact with the community that is fundamental to community policing.
•  
• Public Speakers        
• The CID provides Officers to speak at meetings, Neighborhood Watch Programs, and/or scheduled events. These officers can speak on a wide range of Crime Prevention and/or Community Policing subjects. We also can provide Officers for fingerprinting of children.
