PCC reaffirms commitment to Neighbourhood Policing following first scrutiny meeting 👮♂️ 👮♀ As Commissioner, Matt is responsible for holding the Chief Constable to account for maintaining an efficient and effective police service in Cleveland.   One of the ways he undertakes this crucial role is through monthly scrutiny meetings, which provide Chief Officers the opportunity to give the Commissioner a detailed account of progress on a specific topic, enabling Matt to identify whether there are any areas of further improvement and assurance.🤔 The topic of Matt’s first scrutiny meeting held on June 11th focused on Neighbourhood Policing and covered areas such as community engagement, resources and deployment of neighbourhood teams, challenges and risks faced by officers and training opportunities available to them.

My vlog on ‘Community policing’ (CP) a vital approach to democratize policing, fostering a collaborative relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve. By engaging with citizens, listening to their concerns, and addressing their needs, police can build trust, legitimacy, and support. This leads to more effective law enforcement, as communities become active partners in preventing and solving crimes. CP encompasses various strategies, including: 1. Community engagement and outreach 2. Neighborhood policing and patrols 3. Problem-oriented policing 4. Partnerships with local organizations and stakeholders 5. Transparency and accountability By adopting CP principles, law enforcement agencies can: 1. Enhance public trust and confidence 2. Improve communication and cooperation 3. Reduce crime and fear of crime 4. Promote inclusive and equitable policing practices 5. Strengthen community cohesion and social bonds

Mayor Jon Mitchell is kicking off the process to build a new headquarters for the New Bedford Police Department. Joined by Police Chief Paul Oliveira, Mayor Mitchell announced the upcoming solicitation of an “Owner’s Project Manager” to assist the City in determining the right location for the facility, and to oversee its design and construction. The construction of a new police headquarters was one of the recommendations made by outside industry experts in the Jensen-Hughes review of NBPD operations the department initiated last year. The NBPD headquarters has been at its current location, 871 Rockdale Ave., since January 1999. The Rockdale Avenue site was originally a Fernandes Supermarket, and then a Maxi Drug store before the NBPD moved in before the turn of the century. It was meant to be a temporary home for two to three years while the City searched for a site and secured financing for a new headquarters that ultimately never came to be. Mayor Mitchell: “This building was designed and built in the 1960s to be a grocery store, not a police headquarters. The New Bedford Police Dept needs a modern, purpose-built facility to meet the requirements of 21st century policing. It will enhance the overall performance of the department, ultimately to the benefit our residents.” Chief Oliveira: "After more than two decades of serving New Bedford from what was meant to be a temporary location, we are excited to start the process of planning a new police headquarters. The time has come to build a facility that meets the needs of our officers and reflects our dedication to public safety. This new building will not only enhance our operational efficiency, but also reinforce our commitment to providing the best possible service to our residents." The City will soon be releasing a request for services package seeking an industry professional to guide the project from start to finish. The project manager will first assist the City identify a location that is close to the demographic and/or geographic center of the City. The process, expected to be three-to-four years, includes site analysis, public input, bid solicitation, design, and construction. The request will be available soon online at https://lnkd.in/edQTuFdE. Anyone seeking more information or has questions on the BID can contact the City’s Purchasing Department at 508-979-1432. #newbedford #police #bid #bidsolicitation

In the realm of policing, a critical issue demands our attention – the management gap within police departments. Promoting officers based solely on street performance doesn't guarantee effective leadership. Policing and management demand distinct skill sets, and excelling on the streets rarely translates into managerial success. To evolve, we must prioritize recruiting officers with a strong foundation in data-driven policing. Harnessing the power of data and statistics is the key to making informed decisions and driving down crime rates. It's time to reshape the narrative by recognizing the distinct skills required for effective management and operational success. Let's advocate for change, urging police departments to attract and hire officers equipped with the skills needed for both arenas. By doing so, we can build a safer, more resilient community. Together, we can bridge the management gap and pave the way for a progressive era of law enforcement.
