COMMUNITY POLICING
The Department of Public Safety and our Police Department has long understood the importance of community policing throughout the City of Saratoga Springs. Community policing is a policing strategy and philosophy based on the notion that community interaction and support can help control crime, with community members helping to identify suspects, detain vandals and bring problems to the attention of police. Saratoga Springs has enjoyed a reputation as a safe city in part due to the level of cooperation that exists between our citizens, business owners, and the police department.
The programs that follow on this page and under the sub pages of our Community Services links are just a few of the long standing programs our department has been involved with. Our commitment to a safe and crime free community is a partnership with the citizens of our city, and one we value greatly.
