<br />,.._..:_.,'-"...:'_.....:l,.:,c...'._.-....___.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />The Ramsey County Sheriffs Office is committed to providing a proactive <br />approach to crime prevention for the communities that we serve. <br />The focus is to enhance community awareness and involvement by <br />attempting to deter crime before it occurs and by coordinating this effort <br />throughout the department. This is accomplished by utilizing our Patrol <br />Personnel, Crime Prevention Coordination, Community Resources <br />Personnel, Volunteers Involved In Public Safety, and our Community Watch <br />System. <br /> <br />Crime prevention coordination provides crime prevention programs and <br />initiatives that gain and maintain citizen support. These programs and <br />initiatives teach crime prevention measures. Public contact with community <br />leaders, community based organizations such as block clubs, local churches, <br />youth groups, citizen volunteers, and business leaders are included in our <br />crime prevention efforts. We celebrate our crime free efforts for the year <br />. with the annual National Night Out. <br /> <br />We currently are providing information on crime prevention programs such <br />as, Neighborhood Crime Watch, Burglary follow-up, graffiti awareness, <br />Business Crime Watch, Crime Free Multi-Housing, Operation Identification, <br />Personal Safety, Problem Property Projects, Theft from Auto, and Auto <br />Theft Prevention. <br /> <br />Since my assignment to this position in June, I have been gathering <br />information about our communities needs from supervisors and patrol <br />deputies, community leaders, and most importantly are residents. <br /> <br />These services are currently being delivered to our residence by daily <br />contact by telephone, in person, news media releases, community events, <br />and by department crime prevention initiatives utilizing our community <br />resources unit with other deputy personnel and our highly valued Volunteers <br />Involved In Public Safety Unit. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />It is my recommendation that we continue with this style of delivery of <br />crime prevention services. I am looking to expand the crime prevention <br />delivery to include the use of the Internet, cable television, city newsletters, <br />and by continuing public safety community fairs within our communities. <br />
