Community Based Services:

The monthly community meeting is being held in Room 1210 of the Tacoma Police Department Headquarters’ Building on the second Wednesday of every month. Officer Don Williams has been assigned as the area Community Liaison Officer.

As community priorities are established, the CBS Team is addressing them to make a stronger, safer, and cleaner community.

SIGNIFICANT SECTOR PROBLEMS AND STRATEGIES APPLIED

Lower Portland Community - The Lower Portland Avenue Community has been meeting to reduce crime and blight. The neighborhood held a community clean-up that recovered several tons of garbage. This event also facilitated bringing members of the community together.

Pacific Avenue Prostitution - The reports of prostitution are down over 50% from 2007 to 2008. Tacoma Police officers have conducted dozens of high profile emphasis missions in that area to address the past prostitution problems that have occurred.
