Chief James Mork <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />It is my honor and privilege to present our <br />2020 Annual Report. <br /> <br />While this report is not a complete picture <br /> <br />of everything that occurred in 2020, <br /> <br />we do think it does well to highlight <br />certain events and give you an inside look <br /> <br />into what the staff at the <br /> <br />Centennial Lakes Police Department <br />does day in and day out. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2020 has been a very challenging year. A global pandemic, racial tensions, civil unrest, combined with widespread <br /> <br />unemployment made last year destined by many for the dustbin of history. What is important to know is how well <br />the officers and staff of the Centennial Lakes Police Department stepped up and met the challenges of this <br /> <br />unprecedented time. Leaving each call better than they found it, and partnering with the community wherever and <br /> <br />whenever possible. Their dedication to our communities has not gone unnoticed. CLPD officers and staff have been <br />extremely helpful and gracious to me too, as I adjusted to this new position. I am thankful to former Chief Coan and <br /> <br />his dedication to this department over the years. His leadership provided me the opportunity to take over a <br /> <br />department that was on the right track already. My challenge was to lead this great department of women and men <br />and to provide everything they need to thrive in this unique environment. <br /> <br />The Centennial Lakes Police Department is advancing progressive strategies essential in contemporary law <br /> <br />enforcement. Core components of these efforts are centered on: <br /> <br />The suppression and prevention of crime. <br /> <br />The enforcement of traffic laws related to distracted and intoxicated drivers. <br />The continuation of community engagement and outreach. <br /> <br />The promotion of transparency and accountability. <br /> <br />And the commitment to employees and their well-being. <br /> <br />A focused and healthy police department that partners with their communities and various stakeholders will inevitably <br /> <br />bring about positive changes for all. The challenges of 2020 have certainly prepared us well to adapt and adjust to <br />anything that might come our way in 2021. <br /> <br />I wish to thank our entire staff, our Governing Board, City Administrators, and our citizens for their continued support <br /> <br />and cooperation. <br /> <br />Serving with Courage and Compassion, <br /> <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
