Community Policing Committee

AGENDAS, MINUTES & RECORDINGS

Community Policing Committee is reported at all Regular Council Meetings.

Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies that support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime.

A Partnership in community policing involves the police and the community working together to resolve mutual issues, which contributes to or maintain social order. Communities and their community policing committees, choose the level at which to participate with their police. Therefore, these partnerships may vary from community to community.
