About Step Forward
At SPPD we believe that community engagement is the responsibility of everyone in the department, not just a select few. Community engagement starts at the highest level beginning with the Chief of Police and filters throughout the agency to all of our sworn officers and civilian staff. We also believe that community engagement must include strong partnerships in the community.
If you, or your organization, have questions about the role of an officer and would like to learn more about serving your community, please reach out.
Unit Vision
Establish, improve and sustain community relationships providing trusted service with respect.
Unit Mission
With a strong foundation of transparency and “Trusted Service with Respect”, the Community Engagement Unit will use the 6 pillars of 21st Century Policing to promote positive engagement and communication with our racially diverse neighborhoods, businesses and community organizations.
