BY OBTAINING ACCREDITATION AND IMPLEMENTING NEEDED POLICIES WE HOPE TO LEAD THE WAY AND BE THE MOST PROGRESSIVE AGENCY IN OUR AREA. WE WOULD BE ONLY THE SECOND AGENCY IN OUR COUNTY TO OBTAIN ACCREDITATION. WITH ACCREDITATION AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT THIS WILL HELP US TO SET THE STANDARD FOR COMMUNITY POLICING ON OUR CAMPUS. WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY PROGRAMS, POLICY OR TRAINING FOR COMMUNITY POLICING. AS PART OF OUR ACCREDITATION, WE PLAN TO IMPLEMENT A COMMUNITY POLICING PROGRAM IN OUR DEPARTMENT. INSTEAD OF ASSIGNING ONE OFFICER AS A COMMUNITY POLICING OFFICER, WE WILL HAVE ALL OFFICERS TASKED WITH A COMMUNITY POLICING PROJECT. WE ALSO PLAN TO IMPLEMENT A PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO PARTNER WITH THE CAMPUS STUDENTS AND NEIGHBORS. THIS WOULD ALSO HELP US TO CREATE EFFECTIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE THAT WE SERVE SO THAT WE ADDRESS ANY PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE AND INCREASE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE STUDENTS AND STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY AROUND US.
