Community Response Unit (CRU) -

Our Community Response Unit (CRU) was created to solve problems that arise in the community. CRU focuses on establishing and maintaining direct community contacts to foster grassroots partnerships to address and resolve quality of life issues.

The five branches of CRU are Community Outreach, Community Policing, Crime Prevention, Construction Special Investigations and Animal Cruelty Task Force.

Crime Prevention focuses on educating and training our community through programs, partnerships and initiatives. Community Policing establishes community safety teams at providing service and support through interaction and effective communication with homeowners’ associations.

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 🙏🏻🩵Five years ago today, the world grew a little dimmer, and heaven welcomed home the most important person in my life. Not long after you left us, a rainbow stretched across the sky—a quiet promise that your light had not faded, only changed form, still casting its glow over us all.Nan, every day beside you was a gift. Your spirit lingers in the stories we tell, in the soft nudges I feel from heaven urging me forward in service to this beautiful community, and in Nan’s Ranch—where animals find safety, and where the earth remembers your footsteps.There is still meaningful work to be done. The world breathes a little easier because you were in it, because of the kindness you gave so freely. Take care of one another. Do good while you are here long enough to witness its ripple. And let us continue to live as Nan would want us to live—with joy in our hearts, humor in our days, and hands always reaching out to lift others.In loving memory. You are missed beyond words. — Carmine ... See MoreSee Less
