Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Pomona Police Department, I am pleased to present our Policing Blueprint.
Over the last year the Pomona Police Department has made several adjustments to its policing efforts that have resulted in a steady decrease in overall part-1 crimes. 2013 did bring an increase in homicides and this unacceptable rise was the impetus behind many of the implemented changes. The information we have compiled in the following pages will show you how your police department has achieved the reductions and some of the strategies we are using to eliminate homicides. This document is current and we will update it at least twice each year. !The Core Strategies that are listed in our Blueprint include: • Focused enforcement on Gang Crimes and Career Criminals • Collaboration with Law Enforcement Partners and supporting organizations • Increased use of Technology and Crime Analysis • Improved Community Outreach

COMMUNITY ORIENTED PROBLEM SOLVING
Area Commander System
Fiscal Year 2013-2014
The Police Department has implemented a Community Oriented Problem Solving structure, referred to as the Area Commander System. The City is divided into four quadrants using Holt Ave. and Garey Ave. as the dividing lines. The quadrant system was used because we have 4 Lieutenants assigned as Watch Commanders. One of these Lieutenants is assigned as an Area Commander to each of these quadrants.
Each Area Commander is responsible for problem solving the issues that develop in their assigned quadrant by utilizing not only the resources within the Police Department, but also by coordinating services from other City Departments as needed. Area Commander Community meetings are held regularly at different locations within the community.
A Community Service Officer (CSO) from the Crime Prevention Unit is also assigned to each of the quadrants to work closely with the Area Commander, which provides consistency to the citizens.
The purpose of this system is to allow the community the opportunity to know who their personal point of contact is within the department. It is important that when community members have a community question or concern, that they are not transferred or shuffled to different divisions within the department based upon unit responsibilities. The system also facilitates department coordination and supports collaboration on efforts to achieve success.
