COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES (COPS)

The Monroe Police Department is committed to working with the residents of the city in maintaining the high quality of life we enjoy here. The Department has and will continue to form partnerships with individuals and groups to solve those issues affecting the community that cannot be resolved by police enforcement action alone. In 2002, the Department began it's "Community Policing "philosophy. This plan was created by a group of stakeholders, including citizens, business owners, officers, and other community leaders, which resulted in a change to our approach to problems in the community. A Mission and Values Statement was written, along with numerous policy changes, to incorporate this philosophy as a focus for our agency. Below are listed several of the programs that were implemented to attain those goals.

ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS & SERVICES

Community Liaison and School Officers

A full-time liaison officer maintains contact with the community, and courts. The officer may act as a resource person for those needing information or department services beyond that of normal patrol functions. Duties may include such functions as public speaking, conducting community meetings, on site problem solving, direct intervention, and follow up through the court system. The Department also maintains a School Resource Officer, who services all of the public schools in the community, in partnership with the School District. If you have questions regarding these services, or would like to arrange for public speaking event, please contact us.

School and Workplace Safety

The Department has officers with specialized instructor certification in how to handle "active killer" situations that could occur in a school or in a workplace environment. These officers can provide training or consultation if requested. Contact the department at (608) 329-2400.

24 Hour Lobby Resources

A full-time point of contact is available to allow citizens face-to-face interaction. Staff members are assigned to cover peak walk-in hours to accommodate vehicle registration, document services, inquiries, and payments. In addition to routine police department matters, we can provide a link to many other city departments and community resources after hours or on an emergency basis.

Basic Life Support

Patrol officers receive reoccurring training in administering emergency basic life support services. Available around the clock, they can render emergency assistance until the EMS crew arrive. Patrol cars are equipped with a Trauma kit, oxygen and defibrillator unit. While we aren't licensed for non-emergency medical services, we can respond to emergencies and assist EMS and Fire as support for other medical related services.

Special Event Coordination

The Department staffs its personnel in response to the anticipated activity level during special events. We work with the organizers to ensure events are conducted in a safe environment and reduce potential liabilities. If you or your organization is considering sponsoring such an event, a permit may be required. Applications are made through the City Clerk's Office for committee approval. Further information is available in the FAQ section of this site.

The Monroe Police Explorer Post, a part of the Boy Scouts of America, has been a part of the Department for over a decade. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the post has become inactive.
