The Area Command philosophy divides the City into four areas, each of which will include single and multi family residential areas, commercial areas, and schools. An assigned Sergeant, and a Team normally including one Corporal, and one or more Officers, and utilizing various units within the department such as Traffic and Detectives, will be responsible for a geographic area and also to coordinate responses with other geographic teams to address long-term issues impacting the quality of lives of those who live, work and visit our community.
Areas:
Below you will find a general description that outlines the various areas. Each area has a webpage with a map to help facilitate identifying the area in which you live, work or have a question or concern about. Each area has an email forward which will reach each of its team members, in addition to that Area Commander’s telephone number.
