Last Update: January, 2012 Published By Officer Shek Weber #1901 Patrol North Community Policing 3015 E. 21st North, Wichita, KS 67214 Phone number: 350-3400 E-mail:   sweber@wichita.gov               The Wichita Police Department’s mission is to provide professional and ethical public safety services in partnership with citizens to identify prevent and solve the problems of crime, fear of crime, social disorder and neighborhood decay, thereby improving the quality of life in our community.       What do Community Police Officers do?   Beat Coordinators are fully commissioned Wichita Police Officers who are assigned to individual beats.  The coordinators’ purpose is to facilitate the beat team response to address issues that affect quality of life issues and crime on their beat in addition to coordinating activities to solve problems using other resources at their disposal. Beat coordinators are responsible for:   1.                  Coordinating a response for health code violations and animal complaints 2.                  Special assignments such as warrant sweeps, morals violations and other projects 3.                  Neighborhood clean-ups 4.                  Organizing sponsors, donations, food and security for neighborhood association projects 5.                  Follow-up on police cases for detectives 6.                  Large scale community projects involving other beat coordinators 7.         Organizing resources within the community       8.         Attending and participating in community meetings such as Neighborhood Associations and District Advisory Boards       9.          Identify and coordinate a response to crime trends on the beat.   . Burglaries can happen anywhere at anytime. Don't take actions that  lead to your victimization.  Keep your doors and windows locked, even when you're home.  Install deadbolt locks on your doors. Get to know your neighbors and stay aware of who belongs in your neighborhood. Practice situational awareness.  Trim trees and shrubs to provide a clear view of your home. Keep your garage doors closed. If you see suspicious activity, people, or vehicles in your neighborhood, call 911.   Don't make doing a home inventory of your property an after thought. Take photos or video of your property and store in a safe place such as a fire safe or safe deposit box. Write down Make/Model/Serial numbers to your property, including tools and electronics. This information is valuable in the unfortunate event of a theft, fire or acts of God. This gives you and law enforcement the best chance of recovering your items or prove to your insurance company what you own when preparing a claim.     Crime Stoppers Neighborhood Initiative • The Crime Stoppers Neighborhood Initiative is a project designed to encourage citizens to report crime and criminal activity around neighborhood drug houses. Citizens are also encouraged to report all suspicious activity regardless where it occurs. • The initiative is not meant to replace citizens reporting of criminal activity to their community police officer or City Hall neighborhood assistant. Rather, the project is designed to give citizens an anonymous alternative to report drug houses or other crimes in their neighborhood should they choose to do so. • Crime Stoppers encourages citizens to get to know their beat and community police officers who can assist them in many ways. These officers have a broad perspective of activities taking place in the neighborhoods the patrol and can be a valuable resource. • In addition, Crime Stoppers encourages citizens to develop a working relationship with the neighborhood assistant in their city council district. These City employees can answer questions about many city services, and are can assist citizens in many ways. • Crime Stoppers has expanded the way it now receives anonymous tips from citizens.      o Citizens can still report criminal activity anonymously by calling 267‐2111.      o Citizens living outside of Wichita can report criminal activity anonymously by                   calling 1‐800‐222‐TIPS      o Citizens can report criminal activity anonymously by sending a text message on                   their cell phones to CRIMES (274637) and beginning their message with the word                   TIP217. It’s a good idea to program this number into your cell phone address                   book so it will be handy when you need it.      o Citizens can also report criminal activity anonymously by going to the Crime                   Stoppers website, www.wsccs.com.      o If citizens choose do to so, they can report criminal activity by going to the                  Wichita Police Department website, www.wichitapolice.com, going to the                  Records Information link, and clicking on the link to Report Suspicious Activity in                  Your Neighborhood.      o All tips received by Crime Stoppers are anonymous and no one will ever ask                   your name.     Neighborhood Watch   Do you know if your neighborhood has a Neighborhood Watch? One of the best ways to deter crime in your neighborhood is for you and your neighbors to look out for one another. If you would like to be part of a Neighborhood Watch, or you used to have one that has lost momentum call or e-mail me. You are our eyes and ears in the community.       Illegal Drug and Gang Activity   Illegal drug, drug related, and gang crime is the top concern identified by the 44 beat survey.  The Wichita Police Department is aggressively addressing this concern on 44 beat as well as in the rest of the city.  Citizens are encouraged to contact me or Officer Naldoza if you have any concerns or information regarding drug or gang activity.  Your concerns will be addressed promptly and you may remain anonymous.  These are your neighborhoods, help us make them safer.         Neighborhood Association Meetings   District Advisory Board First Monday of Every Month 7:00 p.m. Atwater Neighborhood City Hall-2755 E. 19th Street   Northeast Central Neighborhood Association First Monday of Every Month 2755 E. 19th (Atwater Neighborhood City Hall) 5:30 p.m. (Boundaries-Grove to Hillside and 13th to 17th)   Power Neighborhood Association 4th Monday of Every Month 2113 N.
