Overview

The mission of the group is to provide the Sheriff with community insight relating to public safety priorities and developing crime prevention strategies. It is another step in increasing our strong partnership with the community, continued transparency and active building of positive relationships.

The group has a wealth of knowledge from various experiences and offers a diverse geographic representation of the county. They demonstrate a commitment to representing the interests of the public.

It is important to have citizen input for prioritizing our community's public safety needs because we are here to serve them.

The commitment to work with communities to address immediate and longer-term crime effects through joint problem solving reduces crime and improves quality of life.
