The Community Patrol Division Staff Sergeant’s are also located within the building and are the commanding officers coordinating the activities of over 25 officers assigned front line policing responsibilities.

The Community Patrol officers are responsible for the protection of life, the prevention of crime, the enforcement of all Federal and Provincial Statutes, and our Municipal By-Laws.

Officers assigned to Community Patrol work a variety of shifts throughout the day and respond to calls for service on a priority basis with those calls that are likely to endanger life or any person taking top priority. Other officers assigned to Uniform Duties are stationed at the headquarters front desk reception area, where citizens call or attend to report incidents.

Working Together to Prevent Crime:

The prevention of crime – particularly crime involving neighbourhoods – is a responsibility that must be shared equally by the Police Services and private citizens. The fact is, the impact on crime prevention by Police Services alone is minimal when compared with the power of private citizens working with Police Services and each other.

In 1999 a community based group was formed in Chatham spearheaded by Marjorie Crew, the founder of East Side Pride.  East Side Pride is based on this concept of cooperation, and statistics prove that it works. When citizens take positive steps to secure their own property and neighbours learn how to report suspicious activity around their homes, break and enters and related offences decrease dramatically.
