The duties of the Coordinator include the following:

  • arranging community events, speaking engagements and projects for the districts to engage officers and members of the community in positive interaction
  • providing members of the community with methods of addressing public safety concerns, as well as nuisance concerns, affecting the quality of life in the neighborhoods
  • monitoring internal crime intelligence reports; organizing crime prevention activities, safety tips, crime and arrest data, as well as alerts to make the community aware of crime trends supporting groups, like Court Watch and Neighborhood Watch; arranging school presentations, including appearances with McGruff the Crime Dog© to ensure public safety is addressed at the school level monitoring and moderating online group communication and other methods of correspondence between stakeholders and the police department, and establishing and maintaining active working relationships to improve police services with community stakeholders, including work with the district’s local Citizen Advisory Council, Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners, City Council Offices, Mayor’s Office of  Community Relations and Services, and local service-providing government agencies.
