Police Department
The
Connell Police Department goal is to enhance security and service
to the community at large. Police Chief Rick Rochleau continues
to administer a "community oriented" police department,
to create a partnership between law enforcement and the community,
and to promote an excellent quality of life for all the citizens
in Connell. Our Community Oriented Policing Strategy combines
formal, community oriented policing programs and police services
provided to the public.
Community Programs
A
number of community oriented programs have been established over
the years that have proven to be very successful in providing
our youth and the community at large with a positive and reinforced
atmosphere for safety, growth, and development. They are:
- DARE
