C.O.P.S. stands for Community Oriented Police Services and is a neighborhood watch program. It is a program of the Gwinnett County Police Crime Prevention Unit.  

 

The purpose of C.O.P.S. is to create a police/community partnership to reduce the likelihood of crime occurring in your area by:  

 

• Notifying all members of the neighborhood of any police related incidents as soon as possible, via a network of block captains and the neighborhood liason(s). 

 

• Getting to know your neighbors so that unusual activity will be noticed and reported.

 

• Establishing a relationship with the police department.

 

• Education on techniques that will minimize the chance of you becoming a victim of crime. 

 

There is no financial commitment. There is no obligation other than to attend an initial meeting and provide contact information.  

 

Block Captains will be responsible for 6-10 homes around their home.  If crime or a police related incident takes place on the block captain’s block, the block captain is responsible for notifying the neighborhood C.O.P.S. liaison and the other block captains.  

 

Seventy-five percent (75%) of all homes in the neighborhood must participate in one initial meeting in order for the neighborhood to be eligible for the COPS program.

 

You will be contacted a week or so before the Initial Meeting for details, a reminder and your commitment to attend.
