How To Get Involved?!

Community policing is a partnership between the police and members of our community. The community members include residents, business owners, schools and religious and private organizations. The police and community working together can have a real impact on reducing crime and improving the quality of life. While continuing to use traditional enforcement methods, police officers will increasingly rely upon input and cooperation from the community and the used of other governmental resources. This joint problem solving partnership fosters a mutual trust and understanding between the police and the community.


COMMUNITY POLICE ADVISORY BOARD is an Area-level community board comprised of members from the various residential and business communities who live or work in a particular geographic area. The purpose of the CPAB is to provide advice to the Area Commanding Officer regarding decreasing the incidence and fear of crime in the community, as well as to provide community members with a voice in the policing of their communities. For more information contact Gwendalyn Wood at Verlang@aol.com

CLERGY COUNCIL is a select group of clergy members who assist law enforcement by building a force of resistance to blight nuisance and crime through serving as a liaison on behalf of the community. For more information contact Dr. Michael Crosby at Drmichaeljc@aol.com

HISPANIC OUTREACH is a monthly community meeting held in Spanish for community members to state their concerns and receive referrals to other city entities for quality of life issues.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH is one of the most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime and reduce fear in your neighborhood. Neighborhood Watch Programs fight the isolation and separation that crime creates and feeds upon. It forges bonds among area residents and businesses, helps reduce burglaries and robberies, and improves relations between police and the communities they serve.
