The Greer Police Department launched a Community Outreach Program focused on fostering strong partnerships between the police and the community to ensure safe and secure neighborhoods. The program includes organizing crime prevention groups, neighborhood meetings, and educational presentations on safety topics.
The Community Outreach Team works closely with community groups and businesses to identify local concerns, provide crime prevention services such as home and business security checks, and facilitate direct communication between officers and residents. They also administer citizen surveys every two years to gather feedback on police performance and community safety perceptions.
Additionally, the department supports programs like “Cops for Tots,” which helps provide Christmas gifts to children in need, reflecting their commitment to positive community engagement. The outreach initiative emphasizes collaborative problem-solving, data-driven crime prevention strategies, and active listening to community needs to build trust and enhance public safety in Greer.
