Roswell Chief outlines 2015 plan focused on community policing
Roswell Police Chief Phil Smith presented 2015 priorities to the city council centering on community policing. The plan expands the School Resource Officer program to five officers and one sergeant, with after school campus time balanced by summer outreach and partnerships with Parks and Recreation, the Roswell Museum and Arts Center, and the public library to engage youth and deter crime. The strategy also includes hot spot policing to target high crime areas and allocate scarce resources where crime is most likely to occur.
