Crime Free Housing

The Police Department Rental Housing Group serves as a dedicated liaison between law enforcement and the local rental housing community. Their primary responsibilities include fostering safe and secure rental environments by collaborating with property owners, managers, and tenants to address safety concerns and criminal activity. The group conducts routine inspections of rental properties to ensure compliance with housing codes, educates landlords on effective crime prevention strategies, and mediates disputes between tenants and property managers when necessary. They also work closely with community policing units to monitor high-crime areas, provide training on tenant rights and landlord responsibilities, and support eviction processes in cases involving illegal activities. By prioritizing proactive communication and collaboration, the group aims to improve neighborhood safety and maintain the integrity of rental properties within the community.
