<br /> The Police Department is in the process of establishing a Chaplain Bureau staffed
<br />by area clergymen. The roll of the Chaplain Bureau will be to provide confidential,
<br />spiritual and emotional service to members of the department, their families, and the
<br />community. This project is being staffed by six Chaplains, all volunteers, who expect
<br />to be completely operational by September, 1974.
<br />
<br /> A Steering Committee on Standards and Goals was formed in December of 1973 with
<br />a primary function of serving as an advisory group to the Police Chief and implementing
<br />recommended standards and goals for the department. This diverse committee contains
<br />two representatives from the community. These community representatives were selected
<br />by their own groups and not by members of the Police Department. One member represents
<br />the Central Civic Forum and the other represents the Federation of Civic Leagues. The
<br />Chairman of the Civil Service Commission is also a member of the Steering Committee and
<br />
<br />represents the community by the nature of his position.
<br />
<br /> In connection with our High Incidence Target Program,
<br />the Criminal Justice Advisory Council now in existence in
<br />to include several additional citizens for the purpose of
<br />and performance of the HIT Program.
<br />
<br />which was recently initiated,
<br />the City is to be expanded
<br />reviewing and analyzing plans
<br />
<br /> Also, under this program, the Community Awareness section provides four civilians,
<br />hired as Community Service Officers, to patrol the Dale Homes section of our City. This
<br />is a model project, and at this point the program has been very successful. The CSO's
<br />have established tremendous rapport in that section, and burglaries over the five-month
<br />period that they have been with us have decreased.
<br />
<br /> This is a brief synopsis of a very complete report compiled by the Police Department.
<br />Copies of the full report can be made available to any Councilman who desires it."
