Neighborhood-based Policing is here!
Sheriff Noah Robinson has begun assigning patrol deputies to serve as liaisons to select neighborhoods within the County as part of our new neighborhood-based policing initiative.
• The goal of this program is to create and sustain an interactive relationship between neighborhood residents and our sheriff’s deputies.
• Your assigned neighborhood patrol deputy will be Deputy Adam Lahanis, you can find his contact information below.
• Neighborhood-based Policing is here!
SINCERELYÂ
 DEPUTY ADAM LAHANIS
The duties and responsibilities of a deputy who has been assigned a neighborhood shall include, but are not limited to:
• Facilitate the exchange of information between neighborhood residents and the Sheriff’s Office.
• Call upon the combined resources of the Sheriff’s Office, Narcotics Task Force, Prosecutor’s Office, Health Department, Building Commission, homeowners association (HOA), property management company (if applicable), social services organizations, and individual residents in order to address crime and quality of life issues within the neighborhood.
• Attend HOA, crime watch, and other community meetings within the neighborhood in order to provide residents with crime statistics for their neighborhood, provide residents with crime reduction strategies, and reduce the perceived fear of crime.
• Establish trust between neighborhood residents, youth, and the Sheriff’s Office by fostering positive, cooperative, and productive relationships.
• Routinely review incident reports and field contacts for assigned neighborhoods, ensuring complaints are followed-up on and that resident’s concerns and complaints do not “fall through the cracks†without being addressed.
The goal of this program is not to discourage a resident from calling 911, but instead provide an additional method of communicating with our Office regarding non-urgent matters. The hope of this program is that deputies will develop a sense of ownership over their assigned neighborhoods and take pride in the relationships that are built as a result.
