As part of the community policing efforts the City of Columbia is pursuing, there are seven public meetings scheduled to have a dialogue about community policing and gather feedback from Columbia residents.

Columbia Police Sgt. Robert Fox was chosen to lead the City’s community policing efforts after the City Council directed City Manager Mike Matthes to design a citywide Community Policing Plan on Feb. 19, 2018. In August, the City Manager and Sgt. Fox will present a transition plan, timeline, and budget for modifying current CPD policies, procedures, and operations and implementing the new program.

For those who cannot attend the scheduled public meetings, this online form is an opportunity to provide input for the City’s Community Policing Plan.
