Targeting Areas of Community Concern

The department's T.A.C.C. Team plays a very diverse role in our community. This two-man team is devoted solely to targeting areas of concern within our community and work very closely with the schools, local landlords, merchants, and neighborhood watch groups. Officers assigned to this team work varied schedules and utilize both marked and unmarked cars as well as police mountain bikes in order to accomplish their assigned tasks.

The team's duties vary based on the needs of the community but include such activities as Bicycle Patrol, Marine Patrol, Narcotics/Vice, Code Enforcement and Surveillance. The team also works closely with School Resource Officers and has been responsible for a great deal of enforcement activity relating to the possession of tobacco products by minors and the processing of truants from our schools.

The team plays and diverse role in our community and is a prime example of the department's commitment to the community oriented policing philosophy.
