Community Awareness<br />

“...as a community, we do not tolerate crime;<br />

we are educated in crime prevention methods;<br />

and, we report suspicious activity and crime<br />

to our police.”<br />

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP<br />

All members <strong>of</strong> the Police Department are responsible for the suggestions and concerns <strong>of</strong> citizens,<br />

representatives <strong>of</strong> schools, religious institutions, businesses, and other government or community<br />

organizations. The continuous exchange <strong>of</strong> information is critical to the Mission <strong>of</strong> the Police<br />

Department. This process provides us with an opportunity for rapid response to community needs.<br />

Citizen concerns should be directed to the Police Department immediately to allow us time to<br />

investigate events early while they may still be minor in nature. This important process also helps the<br />

community impart concerns to their Police Department that might otherwise not get reported.<br />

Compliments are also welcome!<br />
