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 grass root 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.

For more information please contact us at 239-477-1CRU (1278) or CRU@sheriffleefl.org.
