The Wallace Police Department will develop and implement programs in order to achieve the following objectives:

• Foster and improve police / community relations and elicit public support
• Identify real and potential community problems, concerns, and risks
• Initiate actions to solve identified problems, alleviate concerns, and reduce or remove risks
• Form a partnership with the community through the sharing of timely and relevant data

What is Community Policing?
Effective community policing has a positive impact on reducing neighborhood crime, helping to reduce fear of crime, and enhancing the quality of life in the community.

It accomplishes these things by combining the efforts and resources of the Police, local government, and community members. The partnership between these groups enhances public safety, awareness, and quality of life.
