2021 came to a close with the Central Regional Command (CRCC) continuing to address issues relating to the Coronavirus pandemic. CRCC’s main objective was the safety of sworn and civilian staff and the community. CRCC routinely took preventative steps to combating the Coronavirus, such as fogging CRCC, the Metro Office, and the Par Office. Marked and unmarked units were regularly decontaminated for the safety of our staff and those within our community. Additionally, civilian staff who could remotely work from home were encouraged to do so, thus minimizing personnel in the station. CRCC continued to address crime trends and focus on calls for service, deploying specialty units as necessary to mitigate the change in trends. CRCC personnel were able to handle multiple protests, special events, and parades throughout the year. CRCC shifts and sections were able to implement traffic plans to address vehicle and pedestrian collisions. Due to changes in state law, CRCC personnel worked in partnership with community groups, other city departments, and non-governmental organizations to address an increase in calls for service in regards to homelessness and public camping. Lastly, CRCC emphasized shift training and training days that had an increased focus on officer safety. Central Regional Command's devoted sworn and civilian staff are committed to continuing their mission supporting the community by continuing to strengthen and improve partnerships while curtailing crime throughout the region.
