From the Chief
A department that answers to its neighborhoods.
Renata Okafor, Chief of Police, on trust, this year’s results and what comes next.
A department that answers to its neighborhoods
Vice City is a city of a hundred neighborhoods, and each one deserves officers who know its streets, its business owners and its kids by name. That is why every district now has a dedicated community team, and why you can reach your district commander directly.
Trust is built on ordinary days, long before anyone has to dial 911.
What changed this year
This year we answered emergency calls faster than ever, opened a new station at VC Port and moved most routine reports online, so officers spend more time where you need them.
- An average 911 answer time of six seconds
- Two out of three non-emergency reports filed online
- Two new rescue boats for the Marine Patrol
- A youth room in every district station by next summer
What comes next
We still have work to do. Next year, every officer will carry a body camera, every district will publish its response times each month, and the Citizens Police Academy will double its places.
Come to a community meeting in your district, join the academy, or simply say hello to the officers on your street. We want to hear from you.
