Special Investigator - Problem Oriented Policing Unit
Mount Holly, North Carolina
From January 2015 to September 2017, I was assigned to the Problem-Oriented Policing Unit. I was tasked with various law enforcement activities including special investigations, surveillance operations, crime analysis and assessments, community policing, crime scene investigations, etc. We placed a high value on new responses to crimes that were preventive in nature, that were not dependent on the use of the criminal justice system, and that engaged other public agencies, the community, and the private sector when their involvement had the potential for significantly contributing to the reduction of the problem. We carried a commitment to implementing new strategies, rigorously evaluating their effectiveness, and subsequently reporting the results in ways that would benefit other police agencies.
