Responsibilities & Services

The Community Resource Team (CRT) includes community resource officers and school resource officers. While team members have different job assignments and skills, each is responsible for facilitating and teaching the community-oriented policing and problem solving philosophy to the public and members of the agency.

Mission Statement

We will partner with our community members to develop a strong, self-sufficient community in which crime and disorder will not flourish. We will utilize a shared responsibility, problem solving philosophy that is based on what is right, not who is right. We will be a progressive, proactive, professional policing agency that values customer service, creativity, innovation, enthusiasm, and reasoned risk taking, creating a better tomorrow - today.
