Citizen Advisory Councils
Citizen Advisory Councils serve an important function to police commanders. Each community advisory board is a small group comprised of represe ntatives from neighborhood watch groups, community and/or business leaders, and other community-based groups within one of the four operational divisions. Visitors are welcome to attend and become part of the advisory council.
Advisors are responsible for:
- staying informed of current events in their community
- serving as departmental advocates at other community meetings
- providing support and/or advice on problems or public safety issues
 Members of the board represent the various communities or groups throughout the service area. Although any one group may have several members present at the meetings, only one member from each community group is allowed a vote. These community leaders meet monthly with police representatives to voice concerns or to brief commanders on the most pressing issues for their areas of responsibility.
In the Western Division, the Board raises funds to assist with supplies, brochures, and more. The Board purchased and dedicated the curio cabinet located in the Western Operation Center Lobby.
