F.6.1. Mission

The CCPD is located at X and 11th Streets in Central City and consists of 183 personnel dedicated to public safety and service. The mission statement for the department, as adopted in 2002, is:

Prevent crime and criminality through aggressive patrol and interaction with members of the community.
Encourage citizen involvement in the solution and prevention of crime.
Ensure that investigation of crimes is carried out in a timely and proactive manner.
Work with the community to solve problems, involving other city departments as necessary.

In 2003, the police department received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), a national validation of its excellence. To be accredited, the CCPD had to comply with 365 internationally accepted standards for the operation of police organizations and successfully complete an on-site evaluation by CALEA assessors. Once again, this attests to the department’s world-class employees and services.

Table F.26. Central City Police Department Staffing and Organization

The administration of CCPD includes the Chief’s Office, as well as a Special Investigations Unit, which handles criminal intelligence and other special activities. A PIO is also assigned to Administration, as are clerical support personnel.

The Field Services Division is charged with patrol and traffic enforcement functions. These activities are accomplished through patrol in marked vehicles and on motorcycles. Officers in marked patrol vehicles handle routine patrol and response to called-for services. A traffic detail handles requests for traffic control, accident response, and follow-up investigation with officers riding motorcycles. Community services officers (uniformed employees in specially marked cars) handle non-hazardous calls for service. Investigative services personnel conduct investigations and develop evidence in criminal cases.

The CCPD officers have received position specific training and may be called upon by the Central City EMA to a city/county wide Incident Management Team. A Youth Services Unit within the Investigations Division handles the processing and diversion of cases involving young people.

There are eight officers assigned as school resource officers (SRO).

A four-person Bomb Squad/Explosive Team, Type III, is composed of trained investigators that have accepted this dangerous assignment in addition to their normal responsibilities.

Support services personnel handle records processing and administrative support for the agency.

A team of five civilian jail officers monitors the department’s booking/detention holding facility, one per shift. Once warrants/information has been issued by the City or County attorney, the prisoner is transferred to the Liberty County Jail.

The department has developed a Law Enforcement Explorer Post, which includes 20 young people interested in law enforcement. They are trained for such duties as traffic control and records processing.

The Central City Police Department is a member of the Department of Justice-Federal Bureau of Investigation Joint Terrorism Task Force. This Task Force is located at the Liberty County Sheriff’s Department (I-107 & I-102) and coordinates its activities with the Main Task Force located at the Department of Justice Federal Building in Capitol City, Columbia.

All Central City Police Officers have received Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) awareness training. Supervisors, Sergeants through Captains, have received training to the CBRNE Operations Level.

F.6.3.1. Central City Police Department Substations

The Central City Police Department has established storefront substations in each of the four police districts. The mission of the substation is to provide a convenient place for citizens and local businesses to be able to file police reports such as non-injury auto accidents, thefts, drug activity, graffiti, and gang activities. The substations also furnish assistance to the public with other city related matters such as zoning issues, neighborhood cleanup, and traffic problems. In addition, the substations serve as facilities where Central City police officers can complete their reports, meet with the citizens, and perform other police activities. These substations are operated during working hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) by citizen volunteers under the supervision of CCPD officers.


Name	Address	Location	Number of Officers	Number of Volunteers
Area 1 Substation – Northwest	9th and D Streets	Central City	1	12
Area 2 Substation – Northeast	11th and EE Streets	Central City	1	10
Area 3 Substation – Southeast	31st and CC Streets	Central City	2	8
Area 4 Substation – Southwest	34th and F Streets	Central City	1	15

Table F.27. Central City Substations

F.6.3.1. Central City Police Department Substations Note

The CCPD utilizes various location in Central City as Police Substations. A substation is a storefront in which the CCPD Information Technology Section has installed computer lines for NCIC, Departmental, and Internet applications. These substations are supported by the local business associations. (Reference Table F.27.)

F.6.4. Radio System

The CCPD receives dispatch from the consolidated 911/Communications center via trunked radio system. The CCPD participates in the Consolidated Communications Authority (“STAR Comm”). A law enforcement channel group supports most every mobile and handheld radio in county or local law enforcement service. See Appendix F.3.4. for talk groups.
