The Bureau of
Administration is
home to nearly half of the Department's employees. Although less visible than
the uniformed division, the highly skilled men and women of the
Administration
Division work behind the scenes and play a vital role in the delivery of police services to the citizens of Concord.This Bureau provides for administrative control, logistical support,
policy setting and decision making relative to all aspects of Police Department
operations.
One of our primary functions
is providing the uniformed officers with the support they need to operate
efficiently. Handling such varied duties as record keeping, training, clerical
support, crime scene and general investigation frees up the officers and allows
the Department to maximize the presence of uniformed officers in the
field.
The Bureau maintains a number
of highly visible programs that provide the community with direct services. These programs have proven to be highly successful and the individuals
assigned to them ensure an open line of communication with the community we
serve.
In Records, the employees assigned to this Unit process the thousands of
criminal and administrative reports generated and provide
a first-line response
to citizens, meeting their needs when possible or
directing them to the proper police function or unit.
The training staff coordinated hundreds of hours of training for department personnel.
Our remaining support staff provide assistance with their invaluable functions.
We are confident that you
will come to find a new understanding for how much behind-the-scenes work takes
place in helping make the Concord Police Department a truly "Community
Oriented" organization.
