From the Office of the
Chief of Police....
Laurel Police Department
Memorandum # 1
August 5, 1997
TO: All Police Officers and Communication Officers
Laurel Police Department
From: Alan Hovious,
Chief of Police
Laurel Police Department
SUBJECT: COMMUNITY POLICING
Although, I will refer to Community Policing as a "Program" in this memo, I would like to
emphasize that this is not just another crime prevention program that is intended to
appease the public. Community Policing is a "Philosophy", (a way of thinking) AND an
organizational strategy (a way to carry out the philosophy) that allows the police and the
community to work together in new ways to solve the problems of crime, illicit drugs, fear of
crime, physical and social disorder (graffiti to addiction), neighborhood decay, and the
overall quality of life in the community.
As we discussed during our last Department meeting, we will be slowly implementing
Community Policing (CP) starting this month. As you all know, you (Laurel PD) have
already used many of the same philosophies or methods of Community Policing for many
years. So, we are not proposing anything really new for you. However, kicking this off as
a "new" program may give the community a fresh jolt of energy and enthusiasm to make it
work better, easier and more efficiently. The nice thing about it is, we will get credit for
using something that you already do.
As with everything that is good, we can expect the down side too. This new program will
require some extra PR work and patience on your part in the beginning. Our citizens are
going to be excited and jumping at the opportunity to help their police department. You
can expect more calls for service for public nuisances, suspicious persons and vehicles.
Treat each call seriously and show the citizens we appreciate their telephone calls. They
will be told at Neighborhood Watch meetings to report these activities. Every call deserves
a personal contact with the complainant (unless they wish not to be contacted). This will
give the CPO the opportunity to meet many of our citizens on one to one basis and ensure
public satisfaction. Think of us as a retail store such as Walmart, only selling service
instead of products.

Community Policing
Again, think of this is an opportunity for all of us to enhance our relationship with the
Community. This will help us tremendously later on, for financial or budgetary support
when we ask for more police officers or equipment.
Basically, we will implement 2 phases this year with the option of modifying or adding
others as we deem necessary.
Appoint a Community Policing Officer (CPO) for each of the 4 Community
Wards' (Wards 1 & 4 will have 2 CPO's); each officer will be responsible for
problem solving in their respective areas.
Dispatchers will receive all calls for service and separate CP calls from
routine and emergency calls. The Dispatcher will then distribute the CP
calls via radio, e-mail and/or written messages to the respective CPO.
The CPO will have the complete authority to handle the problem
utilizing all available resources. They will be held accountable
for their performance.
Most likely, or at least in the beginning, the biggest majority of CP calls will
be in the area of public nuisances such as the improper storing of junk and/or
cars in public view.
CPO's will work closely with Neighborhood Watch (NW) coordinators, who
will be community volunteers, to coordinate, solicit and schedule NW
meetings.
CPO's will attempt to attend all Neighborhood Watch meetings in their
area.
Note: NW coordinators could,work out of the Laurel Community
Crime Prevention Office or their home, or both.
1 Patrol officers will be able to select the area in which they are assigned by seniority, however, it is
suggested that CPO's work in the area that they live in or are closest to. See paragraph on CPO.
C7
Page Three.
Community Policing
CPO will work together, when necessary, to handle problems or assist other
CPO's during scheduling conflicts or special cases.
CPO's will meet routinely with the Chief to discuss the problems in their
areas and progress of the CP program.
2. Set up a Community-Based Policing office in the community (outside of the
police department), operated by community volunteers. The Laurel
Community Crime Prevention office name has been suggested but could
change. Community volunteers will work in the office to disseminate crime
prevention information and materials to the public. Volunteers will supply
NW Block Captains with materials and information, solicit NW meetings,
assist NW coordinators in setting up NW meetings, maintaining NW
organizational charts and records of meetings.
The City of Laurel has offered the old City Council Chambers as an option.
This office would be open to the public during specified days and hours in the
beginning and 40 hours per week later.
CPO's and NW coordinators will work together to train selected volunteers
on all of the various aspects of Crime Prevention so that they can give NW
presentations at NW meetings.
Since this is cooperative effort between the police and community, we want to encourage
the Community's participation as much as possible. We will be asking the community
for their support in all of our programs including their volunteer time and financial support
during fund raisers such as: car washes, boutiques, crafts and baking sales. Another
phase in the program will consist of a public awareness campaign using bill board signs,
mailers and other types of public service announcements via radio, television, and
newspapers.
I hope this answers any questions that you may have regarding Community Policing and
its future with our Department. As always, if you should have any questions, ideas or
suggestions for the program, I encourage your input. Please feel free to visit with me.
