Long-term Goals

  • A foundation of trust allows law enforcement to

form close relationships with all facets of the community that reduces crime, disproportionality in the criminal justice system and an “us versus them” attitude.

  • Members of the community including law

enforcement are active allies in the effort to enhance the safety and wellbeing of neighborhoods.

  • Law enforcement are seen as members of the

community who help further community safety.

  • Law enforcement reflects the community it serves.
  • Law enforcement morale is high and relationships

with the communities they serve are positive.
