03/04/08 Chief's Message to the Public
Since I have taken the position as Chief, I have used a community based policing philosophy. Meaning that I have encouraged the citizens to take a proactive stance in getting involved by addressing problems such as reporting any problems to law enforcement. No matter if it is criminal, health related issues, public nuisances, or traffic infractions concerning public safety. Therefore, I'm asking all citzens to get involved in coming up with a possible solution.
If there is a situation with a neighbor where it is possible to handle the parties involved, as long as everyone is civil and respect is maintained, the problem can probably be mediated.
I am the first to say, "If there is a neighborhood problem, it may be the best solution to handle it between neighbors." But as we know, that does not always work; sometimes law enforcement has to get involved. Maybe just as a mediator or sometimes taking more extreme measures are required.
In our community, the mayor, the city council and myself are always thinking of new ways to better the community.
Most recently we have been working on enacting a Problem Resolution Team. This would include getting the community involved in addressing community problems and coming up with a proactive solution. Not only criminal problems are the concern, but also it could be used to focus on other problems, like efforts to clean up unlicensed vehicles and run down properties.
I believe this team should include citizens, community leaders, and council members; not just law enforcement! We need the public's help.
I would appreciate any input, advice, or direction. Thank-you.
Next City Council meeting is 7:00 p.m. March 13th at the City Hall.
Sincerely,
Chief Todd Jennings
