BACKGROUND:
|
The Sheriff’s Community Policing Unit includes programs such as School Resources, Sheriff’s Activity League (SAL), Drug Awareness and Resistance Education (DARE), Neighborhood Watch, and the North Fair Oaks Festival. The programs provide positive citizen-law enforcement exchanges and assist in building and maintaining strong communication with communities to better detect and prevent criminal activities.
|
|
|
In 2009, the Community Policing Unit was recognized by the STARS Program and your Board for outstanding community customer service for the Sheriff’s Child Safety Seat Education Program. This program serves over 150 families a year in inspecting child car seats and training new parents in proper installation specific to their car model and safety seat model, resulting in San Mateo County having significantly lower vehicle related child injury and death rates than the national average.
