In his nearly two-plus years on the job Police Chief Roderick Porter has assimilated new officers with the community via walking patrols.
He notes as the department beefs up personnel it provides more flexibility for police presence to build community relationships.
From the department Facebook page:
New officers on foot patrol – here to connect with you
Our newest officers have started walking the beat in neighborhoods across the city. You’ll see them out and about, checking in with residents, visiting businesses, and being a visible presence in the community.
Their goal is simple, build trust, strengthen relationships, and stay connected to the people we serve.
If you see them during your day, don’t hesitate to say hello. They’re here for you.

EXCELLENT, HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THEM THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE CITY
