The Public Affairs Unit (formerly known as Community Engagement) seeks to effectively engage the community and media to strengthen and foster enhanced trust, communication, transparency and mutual respect.

Our mission is to help foster and maintain stronger relationships with the community it serves, while leveraging best practices and digital media technologies. Through strategic programs, education, and the dissemination of public information, we engage with the community and the media to strengthen our relationship and raise crime prevention awareness.
