Crime Prevention and Community Policing Crime prevention and community policing share a common purpose - reducing the threat of crime and making communities more safe and secure. Crime prevention and community policing complement each other. Community policing involves changing decision-making processes and creating new cultures within police departments. Crime prevention provides information and skills that are essential to community policing, and is the responsibility of everyone in the community. Through crime prevention, community policing, and emergency preparedness education, you and your neighbors can learn to better protect yourself, your family, and your property. Crime prevention improves the quality of life for every community member, and knowing how to increase your Personal Safety is the first step. If you are concerned there may be a meth lab in your neighborhood, please visit www.nmtf.us for information on signs to watch for, and report it immediately.

here for information about The Broomfield Police Department works to build partnerships with the community to solve problems, including in rental-based housing areas. The approach to preventing crime in the multi-housing areas of Broomfield is no different than in residential blocks, except that the landlord, manager, or owner of multi-family unit plays an integral part in working together with tenants to fight crime. In multi-family units, tenants need to report suspicious behavior to the police and to their landlord. Sometimes criminal activity is not discovered until the problem becomes extreme. Some people – tenants and homeowners alike – are frightened to report illegal activity until they discover the "strength in numbers" of joining a community watch organization. Whether you call your efforts "apartment watch," "community pride," or "resident retention programs," the goal is the same: transforming a multi-housing complex into a safe community. The Broomfield Police Department helps with the training and protection of tenants and landlords alike to enhance the sense of community and belonging, and developing neighbors who are more willing to do what it takes to keep their neighborhood safe and healthy. |
