The next Police and Community Together (PACT) meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 7:00 pm, at NE 8 AVE and NE 168 ST.  Look for the Police Department’s Mobile Resource Center vehicle.  PACT is an initiative that allows the police, and the citizens they serve, to come together in a cooperative spirit of helping each other to achieve a crime free community. After crime information has been gathered and analyzed by the police, the police will deploy the PACT Team into specific neighborhoods, to help reduce specific crime problems and at a later time, see how their efforts are working. The PACT Team utilizes the police department’s Mobile Resource Center, which will be deployed into specific neighborhoods and business areas of the city. These areas are chosen based on recent crime trends identified in the area.
