 The Community Policing Section,
part
of the
Special Enforcement Unit
has the unique assignment of patrolling targeted areas of the City with a
goal of reducing crime and promoting
safer communities. Officers assigned to this unit provide patrol in marked
vehicles, on bicycle and on foot. This makes them more accessible to the
citizens of the areas where they
are assigned. Community Policing Unit is the direct link between the
community and the Dover Police Department. This section is responsible
for the Crime Prevention and Community Services functions and places
emphasis in heavy community involvement to accomplish problem solving.
The officers of this unit have organized neighborhood watches, crime
prevention presentations, and provide personal safety seminars. Selection to Community Policing is very competitive since it provides a special
opportunity for officers to more closely interact with the citizens of our community.
In addition the Community Policing Unit handles all of the Megan's Law "Sex
Offender" complaints and notifications. |
