Overview
While the strategic restructuring has resulted in a reduction in community outreach officers, the department remains committed to being actively engaged with the Arlington Community. A new Community Outreach Unit has been created to promote community-based partnerships and foster police interaction and cooperation with those we serve.
For ease of contact, the Community Outreach Unit has been divided into two teams; a North Arlington Team and a South Arlington Team. The outreach teams engage with the community, conduct seasonal donation drives, work proactively with businesses and commercial areas and assist with proactive patrol and crime prevention initiatives.
