Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The City of Fairview Park is home to 16,826 residents, which breaks down to 1 officer for every 601 people. To put that into perspective, New York City has 35,000 police officers but still has 1 officer for every 247 people. The Fairview Park Police Department responds to over 13,000 calls for service each year. The Auxiliary Unit takes some of the weight off of the regular officers. The need for more help with an ever shrinking budget leads to the need for more volunteer officers.

Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

TASERs

The Fairview Park Auxiliary Police Association would like to partner with the Fairview Park Police Department to help purchase new TASERs for the regular officers and the auxiliary officers. The department would purchase the CEW ($899.95 each) and the association would purchase the Power Magazines ($54.50) and Cartridges ($24.25 each and two per unit). A purchase of at least 30 units would likely be made.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

The Fairview Park Auxiliary unit is permitted within its charter to have 25 Auxiliary Officers. It currently has 18. The goal of the Fairview Park Auxiliary Police Association is to train and provide equipment to its current officers and to entice other individuals to volunteer their time to serve and protect their community.

1) Develop relationships with companies that provide training and equipment to law enforcement that we could procure goods and services from at a reduced rate. 2) Fund the purchase of these goods and services through fundraisers and donations. 3) Recruit new Auxiliary Officers.

We have developed relationships with firearms companies, flashlight companies, clothing companies, and equipment companies. In our first year, we brought in over $4,000, and in our second year, we tripled that. Since 2015, FPPD has added five new Auxiliary Officers.

All of our officers have been given winter hats, class c uniform shirts, and turtlenecks. There has been other training and equipment provided on a unit basis. But our greatest accomplishment is that we have been so successful that we have been able to host area wide trainings.
