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 homeownersโ€™ associations.

This morning, Sheriff Marceno proudly hosted a group for a special tour at LCSO's Warehouse. One hundred participants received a behind-the-scenes look at some of our major assets we utilize day to day out in the field, as well as in special circumstances such as search and rescue missions, SWAT call outs, marine patrol, and community outreach efforts. This was a great networking event for members of the community to gather together, meet members of #teamLCSO, and get a closer look at how law enforcement is working to keep you safe by leveraging technology and assets to deter & solve crime! We loved the opportunity to showcase our agency, answer questions, and engage with our amazing residents! ๐ˆ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐š๐ง ๐ก๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ! ...
