COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Our CORE (Community Oriented Response and Enforcement unit) officers attend and support community/charitable events and engage with local organizations. Our CORE officers also work on proactive education and enforcement to resolve specific community and business concerns involving unsafe and criminal activity, and to improve road safety for all users.
NOTE:
If you require officers to attend an event for safety, security, and/or traffic direction then a Paid Duty Officer is required and you must complete the Request a Paid Duty Officer form for consideration.
