Crystal has the opportunity to participate in a Joint Community Police Partnership (JCPP)
with Hennepin County, a joint effort between the County and several law enforcement
agencies to enhance communication and understanding between law enforcement and its
communities. At the December 5th work session prior to the council meeting, me and Chief
Tim Gannon from the Brooklyn Center Police Department will be discussing this program
with you.
A few weeks ago you received information from City Manager Anne Norris regarding the
Joint Community Police Partnership program.
There are five key benefits to the community:
1. A Community Liaison dedicated to each city
2. Establishment of a Multicultural Advisory Committee (a diverse group of
community leaders representing many different nationalities that meets at least
monthly with police command staff to advise on ongoing community policing
practices).
3. Recruitment and training of Cadets and Community Service Officers.
4. Cultural awareness training for law enforcement officers.
5. Community trainings, dialogues, and Q & A sessions and role of the police.
Through this program, Crystal would get two cadets/community service officers in addition to
our current staff. Hennepin County would provide the funding for this effort and we would
provide staff time to assist the Community Liaison.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. If you have any questions or would like
additional information, please contact me at 763-531-1010.
