The Police Department, in partnership with Jasper County Crime Stoppers held a Lunch-and-Learn event with community leaders on February 19th. Over 50 community leaders were in attendance and Police Department staff gave an overview of crime statistics and introduced the Cops and Neighborhoods United community policing concept. Police Department staff also introduced the use of crime mapping technology (www.crimereports.com) and the use of the NextDoor social media app to better communicate with Newton residents. The event was well received and the attendees were encouraged to get involved with the many programs that partner with the Police Department.
