About the Committee
The Final Report of the President’s 21st Century Policing, emphasized the importance of citizen involvement in policing as a strategy to improve trust between law enforcement and the public. Within the study, citizen advisory committees or community involvement were specifically recommended as action items for local law enforcement.
This committee can give advice on issues related to the community and policing, and assist the Police Department with conducting research, reviewing new policies, providing skilled volunteer services, or supporting community outreach efforts.
The Glenn Heights Citizens Police Advisory Committee was created via Ordinance O-16-20, signed on January 19, 2021.
