<br />c <br /> <br />OMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING <br /> <br /> <br />Community Oriented Policing or C.O.P. is a partnership created between the police, <br />citizens and businesses designed to detect and deter crime. It was born out of the <br />realization that without public assistance, a majority of crime fighting would remain <br />reactive rather than proactive. <br /> <br />Advancements in technology have removed the Patrol Officer from foot patrol, limiting <br />the contact with citizens. Officers in effect become less approachable to the typical <br />citizen. As the divide between officers and citizens increased, both groups became <br />aware of a need for better communication. C.O.P. programs were implemented to <br />revitalize the relationship and reopen lines of communication. <br /> <br />The Centennial Lakes Police Department has a strong commitment to C.O.P. The cities <br />of Circle Pines, Lexington and Centerville are divided into seven patrol areas. Each <br />year two officers are assigned to one of these areas for the sole purpose of performing <br />C.O.P. activities. These officers interact with community crime watch prevention <br />groups, participate and assist in organizing special events, meetings and forums, and <br />make a special effort to meet citizens and business owners to learn their particular <br />needs. <br /> <br />Community Oriented Policing Areas (Grids) <br /> <br />Our officers are problem solving resources for our communities. They are trained in <br />Community Oriented Policing and are eager to assist with concerns within their <br />assigned grids. Grids are specifically defmed areas that the department uses to gather <br />statistics and track problem areas. The following table identifies each grid, its location, <br />and the assigned officers. <br /> <br />GRID <br /> <br />LOCATION <br /> <br />OFFICERS <br /> <br />I <br />2 <br />3 <br />4 <br />5 <br />6 <br />7 <br /> <br />Circle Pines, North of Lake Drive <br />Circle Pines, South of Lake Drive <br />Lexington, North of Lake Drive <br />Lexington, South of Lake Drive <br />Centerville, North of Main Street <br />Centerville, South of Main Street <br />Lexington, Paul Revere Community <br /> <br />Kruyer, Giese, Corlew <br />Tamowsk~ Blanck <br />Carlson, Jacobson <br />Sandmann, Arntzen <br />Dixon, Krueger <br />Langreck, Aldrich <br />Stepan, Gates <br /> <br />Crime Watch Coordinator: Community Service Officer Britni Austin <br /> <br />16 <br />
