The St. John Police Department has implemented the philosophy of Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (C.O.P.P.S.). In addition to providing traditional police services, the St. John Police Department also provides:
Foot Patrols Bicycle Patrols Citizen Police Academies Landlord-Tenant-Police Partnership Assistance Neighborhood Dispute Mediation Services
These are but just a few of the non-traditional services offered. The goal of C.O.P.P.S. is to utilize available resources to address community problems. C.O.P.P.S. does not limit the police to criminal problems only. The St. John Police Department takes pride in providing a safe, crime-free environment for all its residents. By creating “community partnerships” with local businesses, the Rinteour School District, faith-based organizations (churches) and local charities, our department can provide an invaluable amount of help and resources to our citizens in their time of need.
