About Community Policing Offices?
Community policing offices, also known as satellite offices, provide local residents and merchants with the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with a police officer dedicated to the neighborhood. The Howard County Police Department utilizes community policing offices throughout the county as part of the community-oriented policing philosophy that emphasizes cooperation between police and community members and problem solving.
Community policing offices are staffed by a dedicated Howard County officer and support personnel who are responsible for communicating with community members about crime and safety, addressing citizen concerns, attending community meetings, participating in community events, providing an active police presence in the community and conducting enforcement.
