Additional public safety information is available regarding Driver’s Safety, Fire Prevention, and Child Safety.

Services

The Community Resource Center (CRC) will provide the following public safety services:

	I.D.-A-KID- A child’s photograph, measurements and fingerprints are recorded and incorporated into an identification card, which is maintained by the parent or given to the child.
	Combat Auto Theft (C.A.T)- Community members register their vehicle with the Police Department and sign an agreement that allows local law enforcement officers to stop the vehicle between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. to verify the identity of the driver. Participants receive a bright yellow decal which is placed on their rear window, indicating program participation.
	Operation Identification- This program requires the marking and inventory of personal property to deter theft and aid in the recovery of stolen property. Upon request, community members may receive a personal engraver and Operation Identification Warning decals.

Much More! The Community Resource Center will continually strive to provide the Community with the most up to date and relevant Public Safety and Crime Prevention programs available.
