Education, Outreach, and New Initiatives
The Auburn Police Division hosted a National Night out, an Auburn University Safety Walk and a Citizen's Public Safety Academy during 2011. Police have spoke on safety at numerous community events, including the Naval Recruiters Annual Conference, Camp War Eagle, and various church and social meetings in the city and at Auburn University. In addition, Police continue to be active in the Child Safety Seat installation program.
The Auburn Fire Division has presented 257 public education presentations during the past year. The Mobile data initiative is expanding into the Fire Division with MDT's being installed in front run trucks. The Public Safety Division continues to work with the neighborhood watch groups to encourage them to notify Police/Fire in the event of an emergency.
