Florence Township Police

Crime Prevention Unit

The Florence Township Police Department Crime Prevention Unit provides service to all Florence Township residents and businesses.

Crime prevention is the anticipation, recognition and appraisal of a crime risk and the initiation of some action to remove it. It involves a trained police officer that contacts the citizen in an interpersonal relationship with information regarding crime prevention making the citizen more cognizant of ways to reduce the opportunity for crime.

Some of the services that the Crime Prevention Unit provides include educational programs, security surveys, follow-up contacts with victims and organizing the community into neighborhood watch groups as needed. In addition to education, crime prevention also includes physical and electronic countermeasures.

sure that everything is OK with the participant. Applications may be
