The Crime Prevention Officer is also available to meet with private citizen's groups, church, and civil organizations to present programs on personnel protection and how to increase security around the home. This officer also sets up visual displays and hands out printed material at local community events. The Crime Prevention Officer encourages the formulation of neighborhood watch programs and provides printed material and community watch signs to interested neighborhoods. The officer actively involves the county's school children in crime prevention by speaking to all age groups on dealing with strangers, drugs, and criminal activity by friends and companions. It is, but it is your job too.
National averages show that there are only two law enforcement officers per one thousand people.
Crime Prevention works only when you, the citizen, and law enforcement work together. Your help is essential if any crime is to be prevented.
