WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SAFER COMMUNITY

Community Strategies

When neighbors, businesses, and law enforcement work together, great things happen. The MetroWest Public Safety Program unites residents and partners through proven strategies designed to reduce crime, strengthen connections, and keep our community safe and thriving.

Welcoming new neighbors and businesses to connect, engage, and stay safe in MetroWest.

Encouraging communities to earn crime-free certification through proven safety practices.


Crime Free Multi-Housing

Crime Free  Multi-Housing is a national state of the art crime prevention program designed to reduce crime in apartments, condominiums, and other rental properties.   MetroWest has implemented this national Crime Free Program for our communities, with eleven currently certified as crime-free and more to follow in the near future.

Meet the Bus

Provides the opportunity for Community Public Safety Officers to build relationships with MetroWest youth through positive interactions at school bus stops throughout MetroWest.

Victim Re-Contact

This program helps build trust with residents who have experienced victimization in our community. It also provides an important database on community crime and other information relevant to our public safety efforts.

Orlando Police Department “Stop-n-Talks”

Off duty Orlando Police Department (OPD) officers are assigned to traffic enforcement along main thoroughfares and near targeted hot spots. In addition to being a deterrent to crime, this strategy is a great way to connect with the community and build relationships with law-abiding residents and business partners.

We have created multiple communication channels to disseminate information among the MetroWest stakeholders, making it easy to stay informed on community safety developments.
