City of Cortland Office of Community Oriented Policing

City of Cortland Office of Community Oriented Policing The City of Cortland's Office of Community policing, in partnership with the Department of Justice, began on January 9th, 2017.

The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) is the component of the
U.S. Department of Justice responsible for advancing the practice of community policing by
the nation’s state, local, territory, and tribal law enforcement agencies through information
and grant resources. Rather than simply responding to crimes once they have been committed, community
policing concentrates on

preventing crime and eliminating the atmosphere of fear it creates. Earning the trust of the community and making those individuals stakeholders in their own
safety enables law enforcement to better understand and address both the needs of the
community and the factors that contribute to crime.
