What Is Community Policing?

Effective community policing has a positive impact on reducing neighborhood crime, helping to reduce fear of crime and enhancing the quality of life in the community.

It accomplishes these things by combining the efforts and resources of the police, local government and community members. The Partnership between these groups enhances public safety, awareness, and quality of life.

Security Evaluation and Tips for Your Home

Crime Prevention defined is the anticipation, recognition, and appraisal of crime risk and the initiation of some action to remove or reduce it.

While law enforcement and other social forces may reduce the desire to commit crime, crime prevention techniques lend themselves well to reducing the opportunity. Criminal opportunity is manifested in crime hazards or crime risks such as dark streets, unprotected buildings, or any other area where crime risks are heightened because of a lack of security planning. Realizing criminals generally take the path of least resistance, it is reasonable to believe that a relationship exists between the number of opportunities at a given location and the number of criminal attacks occurring at that point.

With a concerted effort between the citizens of Morrisville and the Morrisville Police Department, the risk or opportunity to commit criminal activity can be significantly reduced. It is paramount however that the citizens participate in this effort in order to achieve success.

The Morrisville Police Department is offering residents the opportunity to have an security evaluation done of your premises that may help reduce and prevent easy opportunities for criminal acts.
