<br />The following are but a few of the C.O.P. projects our officers participated in this past <br />year: <br /> <br />. National Night Out <br />. Safety Camp <br />. Mentor Reading Program (elementary school level and daycare centers) <br />. School Patrol <br />. House checks <br />. Business checks <br />. Curfew sweeps <br />. Public speaking <br />. Metrocount traffic surveys <br />. Tobacco and truancy enforcement <br />. Safe and Sober patrol and related events <br />. Distribution ofbaseball and football cards <br />. Police Department tours <br />. Crime Watch meetings <br />. Anti-drug presentations <br /> <br />In addition to vehicle patrol, officers utilized foot and bicycle patrol (when weather <br />permitted) in areas where both serious as well as nuisance violations were likely to occur <br />(e.g. parks, playing fields, parades, etc.). <br /> <br />C.O.P. is not a new program. Police Departments' re-commitment to Community <br />Oriented Policing philosophies reflect changing times, attitudes, and the overall <br />awareness that crime fighting and the resulting increases in safety and quality of life <br />requires a cooperative effort between the police and the people they protect and serve. <br />The Centennial Lakes Police Department is proud of its C.O.P. efforts to date, and looks <br />forward to additional C.O.P.-related successes in the future. <br /> <br />If you have any suggestions to improve our Community Oriented Policing, please let us <br />know. <br /> <br />17 <br />
