Community Police

CBD-6

Observation

There is no police precinct in Downtown, and the existing jurisdictions divide the Downtown at Florida Street.

Discussion

A new precinct is not warranted for the Downtown but a police post staffed by bicycle police would be the most efficient and citizen-friendly way to make urban pioneers feel safe venturing Downtown.

Recommendation

A staff of bicycle police should set up a post in a visible part of the Downtown, perhaps in a storefront near Third Street and Laurel.

Responsibility

Downtown Development District.

Project Status

Crime statistics prove that there is very little crime in downtown. The DDD has two uniformed police bicyclie officers. The addition of the State's bicycle patrol has provided increased coverage.
