Welcome To Cole-Whittier Against Crime

Thanks for reading.

This site is intended to be the online portal for news about Cole-Whittier's Community Policing Initiative, called Cole-Whittier Against Crime.

The program focuses on close cooperation between neighborhood residents and police. By working more directly with residents, police are able to better identify and specifically target high-crime areas and key issues. Police focus is increased on minor offenses (speeding, drugs, graffiti, illegal dumping, etc.) that compromise the quality of life for so many families, and create an environment that leads to more serious criminal activity. Cole-Whittier Against Crime (C-WAC) also includes extensive data-collection providing the police and the community the opportunity to more effectively focus resources, as well as evaluate the program’s effectiveness.
Similar initiatives elsewhere have produced measurable reductions in crime, at the same time reducing complaints of police harassment and profiling.
Your neighbors invite you to learn more about Cole-Whittier Against Crime. And how we, the residents of Cole-Whittier, will help shape it.

For more information, or to become involved, please contact Paul Danek at 720-280-1105 or C-WAC@Comcast.net.
