The Community Policing Action Council was created to build bridges between the community and the police, promote ongoing identification of critical community concerns, and form opportunities for police and community members to talk openly and better understand each other. We appreciate and respect the diversity that strengthens Seattle and are committed to serving all the people of our city. CPAC works to increase awareness of community policing partnerships both within SPD and in the community at large.
Members participate in educational forums, community policing panels, and community roundtables.
CPAC's Education Subcommittee promotes public awareness of SPD's community policing philosophy and educates citizens to recognize that they can have an impact in improving public safety. The Media Subcommittee facilitates accurate and timely dissemination of information about CPAC's work and supports public education using a uniform and consistent approach. Applications for membership are accepted on a rotating basis. For more information or to apply to become a member, call the Seattle Police Department at 684-0212. CPAC is a group of community members who have become active partners with the Police Department.
