About CCPP
Northglenn’s overarching CCPP goals include:

1. Reducing fractionalism – correcting the inharmonious separation which has occurred between the community and those responsible for policing it
2. Creating transparency – there can be no more secrecy in accountability, policymaking, or in determining strategies to address and reduce crime and disorder
3. Balance of influence – empowering residents to get involved in shaping the vision for public safety services while also equipping those who police the community with the resources they need to effectively provide services

Northglenn’s CCPP predicted outcomes include:

1. Increased community trust – because the community shares decisional authority in substantive policing matters, they will have shared ownership over the results
2. Enhanced public safety – trust is the cornerstone to solving crimes, and when trust is established, people will more readily assist in public safety matters affecting them
3. Improved racial/diversity equity – diverse partnerships lead to greater understanding, which in turn, changes perspectives, beliefs, and behaviors
