This year it’s going to be even easier to help shape the Collier County Sheriff’s Office Community Safety Plan.
Members of the community can attend one of the six meetings Sheriff Kevin J. Rambosk has scheduled around the county, or they can log on and provide their input online.
“Not everyone is able to fit a meeting into their schedule, but I still want to hear what they have to say,” Sheriff Rambosk said.
Submitting input online is easy. On the http://www.colliersheriff.org/ home page just click on the icon that says, “Be a part of our virtual meeting.” It links to a form where citizens can type in their ideas and concerns.
Input Sheriff Rambosk gathered during a similar series of meetings in 2009 identified the five priorities that make up the current Community Safety Plan: youth programming, community outreach, crime prevention, communication and traffic.
Sheriff Rambosk’s philosophy of involving the community in the strategic planning process is groundbreaking in the law enforcement profession. He believes that nobody knows a community better than the people who live there.
Below is the schedule of community meetings. One is planned in each of CCSO’s six patrol districts.
