CPD COMMUNITY SERVICES

Community Services

The Cache Police Department offers several crime prevention and safety programs for citizens through its Community Services office. There are no costs for the programs.

Programs include the CPD Fraud & Scam Prevention Program; Cache Safe Neighborhoods Program (which includes Neighborhood Watch); Teaching, Educating And Mentoring (TEAM); and Crime-free Multi-unit Housing. Additionally, the Community Services office distributes Child Identification kits, participates in local fairs and community events, and offers free presentations about crime prevention and highway safety.

Child Identification Kits

Child Identification Kits are distributed by the CPD Community Services office with sponsorship from various sponsors to help parents and guardians record a child’s personal information, including fingerprints and dental records

Cops for Kids Program

The Cops for Kids Program is sponsored by the local Literacy Council to promote literacy and to help children involved in traumatic incidents. The Council collects and donates Teddy bears used by CPD officers to offer to children in distress. The program also offers information and education at community events.

Crime-free Multi-unit Housing Program

The Crime-free Multi-unit Housing Program is designed to reduce crime in apartment complexes and other densely populated housing. The program has been proven to reduce crime by 60 to 90 percent in areas where it has been implemented.

Fraud & Scam Prevention Program

The CPD Fraud & Scam Prevention Program offers materials and professional assistance to groups and individuals to help them avoid becoming targets and victims of fraud and scam schemes. The program covers areas such as counterfeit prescription drugs, identify theft and telemarketing scams, and is because financial scams targeting consumers have become so prevalent they are considered “the crime of the 21st century.”

Storm Shelter Registration is a voluntary service with the Comanche County Emergency Management’s Severe Weather Shelter Registration Program. Residents who own a personal severe weather shelter may register their information to help rescuers should the shelter become blocked during a storm by debris or structural damage.

Blackboard Connect is a mass notification system that allows the city to contact registered residents and businesses in the community within minutes in the event of an emergency. The system also allows the city to notify residents of important matters, such as outages and events.

TEAM

Teaching, Educating and Mentoring (TEAM) is a school liaison program developed in Michigan by police and teachers to promote safety among students of all ages. In Oklahoma, certification and training for TEAM is offered through the Norman Police Department, and the program has been specialized for Cache students as identified by Cache teachers and principals, and by CPD. The program is also available for non-Cache Public School students.

Under TEAM, students in grades K-12 learn about everything from the reasons for laws, to gun safety, dating violence and computer safety. Social media safety is also covered.

The curriculum is offered in sessions of 30-45 minutes each for 7-11 weeks, depending on the age group.

The TEAM philosophy is that while working together as a team, educators, students and law enforcement create relationships and become united in protecting children from becoming victims of crime.
