My name is Gary Shumway and my job title is Community Policing Coordinator. I have never been a police officer and have a huge amount to learn about the job. Although police work never appealed to me in the past, I now see why officers like it so much. The job I have been given is to coordinate the implementation of Community Policing and Problem Solving in this department. There are a lot of trendy words that have been written on this subject.
