“I don’t care what color uniform is delivering the crime prevention message, our citizens need the information and resources necessary to protect themselves from becoming a victim of crime,” said Ivey.

The Brevard County Sheriff Office, Cocoa Police Department, Melbourne Police Department, Palm Bay Police Department, Rockledge Police Department and Brevard County State Attorney’s Office have joined to create the Brevard County Crime Prevention Task Force.

Topics of the announcement will include the concept design of the newly created task force and the various mediums that will be used by the task force to reach citizens with timely information that not only allows them to receive crime prevention information but also to effectively communicate important information to law enforcement in order to quickly and effectively solve crimes in Brevard County.

The multi-agency partnership is designed to work collaboratively on crime prevention initiatives in an effort to reduce crime throughout Brevard County. In addition to the creation of consistent crime prevention messaging, the partnership will work collectively to develop innovative crime prevention programs for our communities.

Combining personnel and resources allows each participating member to broaden their respective crime prevention efforts.

While developing this concept, other programs around the country were researched regarding their respective operations, effectiveness and efficiency.

While other preventions programs exist, this concept appears to be the first of its kind where multiple law enforcement agencies, volunteers and citizens have partnered for the purpose of reducing crime. This unique concept is based upon educating our citizens and equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to safeguard themselves, their families and their homes.
