The Department will continue to participate in the Citizen's Police Academy, Coffee with a Cop, National Night Out, Juneteenth Celebration and other programs and events. Additionally, an increase in neighborhood foot patrols and officers getting out of their patrol vehicles to engage the community and build relationships through non-enforcement interactions is specifically designed to promote a positive connection between the Department and the community. The Department hopes the minority community will also gain a better understanding of a police officer’s job. Develop programs designed to promote interaction between community members and officers. In this non-adversarial environment officers and minority community members will be able to interact and open up lines of communication. A better understanding of the job will also enhance recruitment of minority citizens.

* The intentional tracking of this information began in 2014 with the Diversity Implementation Form (DIF). Definitions for the categories listed above were not finalized until mid-2015, making it difficult to compare data from the previous year. Tabulaion of outreach events was re-assed for accuracy in late 2018 where it was found that events were being duplicated and misclassified throughout the reporting process. Accuracy in tabulation has accounted for the drop in outreach events.
