Community Action Teams – Sectors 1,2,3,4
Each Sector of the City has a resident-driven Community Action Team that meets monthly in conjunction with police officers typically assigned to their neighborhoods in an effort to build trusting relationships and to create a friendly atmosphere where concerns and ideas can be shared.
Coffee With A Cop
The mission of Coffee with a Cop is to break down barriers that may exist between police officers and members of the community they serve. The Chelsea Police Department holds these events monthly that are publicized on the CPD Facebook and other social media outlets.
These events are helpful in creating one-on-one conversations that highlight the importance of police-community collaboration. The also help to shift attitudes that can transform police departments into community-oriented policing organizations.
Coffee with a Cop events are also opportunities to build relationships in order to better problem solve with the people officers serve.
