Welcome to Central Precinct.    We have a combination of sworn and non-sworn personnel dedicated to serving you.   We have included descriptions of some of our specialty units to help you understand the different options we use to reduce crime and the fear of crime.  However, the primary providers of public safety are the men and women responsible for district patrol.  These officers work diligently to keep you safe.  They listen to neighborhood concerns and use problem solving strategies to resolve issues.  To do their best work, they need your help.  Please join them at community meetings, gatherings and other venues to share information, develop partnerships and work collaboratively to keep our neighborhoods safe.
