One of our New Year goals at CPD is to continue building relationships in the communities we serve. I believe these relationships are vital as we do our best to serve the needs of all citizens regardless of race, sexual orientation, religion, disability + other various circumstances.

By connecting with citizens, we help remove barriers and biases towards police, and increase opportunities for them to partner with us regarding safety issues or crime tips. Through programs like our Front Porch Roll Callwhere officers are present to answer questions about community concerns, provide insight on current crime trends + engage with residents – we have worked collaboratively with citizens in all of our regions to continue building successful and long-lasting relationships.

Looking into 2018, I encourage you to come out to a Front Porch Roll Call, or to take the lead and host one at your home.

Until next time, stay safe!
