Info

The quality and availability of public services is a primary factor in determining a community's quality of life. Public services provided by the City of Oklahoma City include police and fire protection, water supply, sewage treatment, drainage, solid waste collection, and street maintenance. These services influence the level of satisfaction that residents have regarding their community and affect the image of the community held by those outside the area. Public services have a major impact on local capacity to sustain neighborhood quality and enhance economic development. Directions Establish standards for the level and availability of public service in urban and rural areas which maintain quality services while appropriately balancing citizens’ expectations for services with the City’s limited resources. Maintain a high level of public services in areas of existing development to preserve neighborhood quality. Promote the revitalization of declining neighborhoods and commercial areas through a targeted program of public service improvements. Concentrate new urban residential and commercial development in areas where public services are currently available at the service levels established for urban areas. When new urban development occurs in areas where service levels do not meet established requirements, ensure that adequate services are provided at the time of development and that the cost of extending public services to such an area are funded in such a manner as to minimize the impact on the City’s ability to provide public services to areas of existing development. Establish priorities for funding and expenditures for public services within the City’s budgeting and CIP (capital improvements programming) processes which respond to anticipated growth and development in conformance with City plans, which support the preservation and redevelopment of currently developed areas, and which maintain quality services while appropriately balancing citizens’ expectations for services with the City’s limited resources. 47
Police Protection The Police Department of the City of Oklahoma City protects lives and property throughout the City’s 621 square miles through community education, a focus on neighborhood policing and preventing associated gang activity, an aggressive investigation, and the rigorous enforcement of laws. As shown in the map below, the City is divided into four patrol divisions with a briefing station in each division, plus a central facility in downtown Oklahoma City. POLICE DIVISIONS AND STATION LOCATIONS Service Standards Maintain an average response time of six minutes for top priority service calls. Maintain actual unassigned available patrol time at 50 percent to allow pro-active patrol time for crime prevention. Actions Promote public safety in Oklahoma City’s neighborhoods through neighborhood based programs to reduce crime including neighborhood policing and neighborhood crime watch. Seek a permanent funding source to cover the costs for repair and replacement of police equipment. Continually review records of service calls (location, type, priority, and time involved) and anticipated growth and development to determine the most effective allocation of police resources and implement changes as indicated. 48
