We believe in a proactive approach to crime prevention in order to reduce crime before it happens. Some of the initiatives/programs toward achieving that goal include the following:
- Business checks for underage alcohol and tobacco sales
- School Resource Officers stationed at York High School
- Regular foot patrols and bike patrols in neighborhoods and parks
- Professional development training for personnel
- Regular analysis of calls for service and crime trends to establish efficient action plans for response and manpower
- Membership in Mutual Aid groups/sharing of information and resources with other agencies
- DUI and Seatbelt safety checks by the Traffic Unit
- Community programs like DARE and Alive at 25, aimed at helping young people avoid drug use and be safer drivers
