Community Relations

The Community Relations Division has a long legacy of service to our community. The unit's officers are highly regarded for the important role they play in developing and teaching the personal safety curriculum in the public and private schools. A major goal of the program is to instill in children the knowledge that police officers are available to help and guide them, and that they are truly a friend to call upon in time of crisis, confusion or concern.

Community Relations officers are also active in the general community. Throughout the year, they make presentations to civic organizations and community groups on various laws or safety-related topics. The Community Relations division also conducts free security surveys of your property. Child ID cards are also made for your child by this division. For an appointment, please call 523-2013.

Community Relations officers are certified as child safety seat inspectors. The police department offers free clinic sessions by appointment. The fitting stations is held at the West Hartford Police station every Wednesday. Please call 860/523-2013 for more information.
