Crime Prevention Unit
The Crime Analysis and Prevention Unit (CAP) provide services throughout the unincorporated areas of Sonoma County. Included in the CAP Unit is the Graffiti Removal Unit. The CAP Unit consists of two Community Services Officers, one Support Staff, and one lieutenant. Each is responsible for his/her own responsibilities, but this Unit it more often seen working as a team. While normal office hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00 - 5:00, this team can be found working weekends and evenings.
One Community Services Officer is primarily responsible for coordinating community related events such as Neighborhood Watch meetings, Safety Fairs, and safety presentations for schools and other segments of the community. In addition, this Community Services Officer provides crime statistics for the entire Department, as well as to members of the public. The other Community Services Officer runs the Graffiti Removal component of the Unit. The primary responsibility of this position is removal of graffiti within the unincorporated areas of Sonoma County. The Support Staff position is much what it sounds like. This person assists the two Community Services Officers with many of their activities, performs typical office duties, as well as coordinates other various CAP Unit events. The CAP Lieutenant is responsible for a number of other collateral assignments and the Crime Prevention and Analysis Unit is just one of them. While the Lieutenant's capacity is that of a supervisor, he also provide direction, guidance, and feedback for the Unit as it continues its successes.
Whether at a Bike Rodeo, Stranger Danger presentation, Senior Safety class, fingerprinting fair, showcasing McGruff the Crime Fighting Dog, or cleaning up graffiti, the CAP Unit is ready if you need us!
