Board Membership Requirements
In order to maintain membership on the board, members are required to:
- Participate in the Police Mini-CCPP Training Academy designed specifically for board members.
- Attend regularly scheduled meetings either in-person or virtually
- Regularly obtain feedback from the community and report back to the board during meetings
- Maintain a professional and respectful decorum
- Maintain all sensitive information that is shared during meetings as confidential
Northglenn’s overarching CCPP goals include:
- Reducing fractionalism – correcting the inharmonious separation which has occurred between the community and those responsible for policing it
- Creating transparency – there can be no more secrecy in accountability, policymaking, or in determining strategies to address and reduce crime and disorder
- 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
- Increased community trust – because the community shares decisional authority in substantive policing matters, they will have shared ownership over the results
- 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
- Improved racial/diversity equity – diverse partnerships lead to greater understanding, which in turn, changes perspectives, beliefs, and behaviors
