Foothills Area Command Crime Prevention 2014 Year in Review

Foothills Area Command Crime Prevention 2014 Year in Review

Thank you to everyone who supported the APD Foothills Area Command Crime Prevention efforts this year. In order to show my appreciation for the community's support, I'd like to list the highlights of 2014. Maybe you will recognize your efforts, your block's participation, your neighborhood association's activity, your child's school, your apartment community, your business.

Partnership with APD Crime Prevention helps build safer communities. We all have a part to play, have areas where we can contribute and when we work together we become part of something greater than trying to make a difference alone.

I have enjoyed working with you and have met some amazing people this year through my duties as your Crime Prevention Specialist. It is an honor to be a part of your lives and try to bring you multiple ways to be safer.
