Building a Strong Partnership

The members of Central Patrol Division strongly believes that for crime to be controlled and decreased, community involvement is a crucial part of successful law enforcement. With the continuing demand being placed on patrol officers, one of the most valuable assets is a community that is willing to partner and act as the "eyes and ears" to make law enforcement aware of potential problem areas.

The Kansas City Missouri Police Department uses a "Community-Oriented Policing Strategy" to help open the lines of communication between the citizens and Police Department. Central Patrol staffs a Community Interaction Officer (CIO), whose job is to be a liaison between the Police Department, and the citizens of Kansas City.

Central Patrol Division also deploys several special units including "CAT" (Community Action Teams), "CAN" (Community Action Network), Bike Patrol and Footbeat Patrol. These units are assigned to specific areas within Central Patrol and work directly in a partnership with the community to eliminate crime and improve the quality of life for all who live, work, or visit the Central Patrol Division.
