Description

Department ImageMission Statement
The Greenwich Police Department, acting without fear or favor, will strive to provide superior law enforcement and public services in cooperation with its community. The Department will actively promote an environment that encourages independent judgement and allows its employees to attain the highest levels of professional achievement.

General Information
The Greenwich Police Department is under the direction and control of the First Selectman and is charged with the protection of life and property, the preservation of public peace, the prevention and detection of crime, the apprehension of offenders and the enforcement of state and local laws and ordinances, as well as the countless calls for service that the Police Department handles on a daily basis. In fiscal year 2006-07, the Greenwich Police responded to 44,706 calls for service.

The Department began the implementation of a major reorganization during the last quarter of the year. We will be reverting to the two deputy chief/two captain model once we are able to fully staff our command level positions. Due to pending litigation, the Town has been restricted to promote personnel to Command level positions since August of 2006. In an effort to maintain our level of service, with the agreement of the Silver Shield Association, Lieutenants have been paid extra for out-of-class assignments.

Our community policing initiatives continued for the third year with three geographic sectors. Internal reorganization united the three Neighborhood Resource Officers (NROs) under one Sergeant dedicated to our community policing program. The Sergeant reports to the Captain of Uniformed Services as we seek to combine their efforts to enhance the overall impact on neighborhood issues. The NRO's serve as the Department's liaisons with the CAPP (Community and Police Partnership) groups who serve to facilitate communications between citizens and the Police Department, as well as other Town departments/agencies.

The Department successfully completed three ten-week Citizen Police Academy programs with 55 graduates. This program will continue as we attempt to meet the demand for the course.

The Department continues to apply for federal and state grants in support of a variety of special programs including traffic enforcement, DWI enforcement, narcotics investigations, drug education programs, domestic violence, and community policing. The overall operational efficiency of the agency has improved; there have been increases in productivity, and a reduction in certain categories of crime.

We will continue with our community policing initiatives, including conducting citizen surveys, in order to provide the best possible police services.
