Police Department

Community Officers

Community policing is at the heart of our organization.  Community officers are often out working with residents in their neighborhoods to build strong relationships with citizens. If you have neighborhood concerns, long-term issues, or community engagement to discuss, please use the guide below to get in touch with your neighborhood officer.  We try to spend as much time as we can to work with our community partners, so email is the preferred method of communication.
