The Bryan Police Department prides itself on its philosophy of community oriented policing. The core components are a strong community partnership and open communication between the police department and its citizens. This allows both entities to identify and prioritize problems in order to address them more efficiently.
The purpose of NET is to utilize problem-oriented policing strategies to resolve those issues that affect crime, fear of crime and quality of life in Bryan. The NET strives to build partnerships with Bryan residents, business owners and religious leaders to foster better community involvement in problem solving. The NET will work closely with existing units within the Police Department and City of Bryan such as the Directed Deployment Team (DDT), Drug Enforcement Team (DET), Intelligence Unit, and Code Enforcement.
The City of Bryan is divided into four geographic areas or zones. The same patrol officers (both day shift and night shift) are permanently assigned a particular zone, so they can become familiar with their area of responsibility. Having the officers assigned to a particular zone gives them the opportunity to get to know the citizens that live in and work in that area, as well as the criminals that are active in their neighborhoods. This allows the officers to identify the particular problems that affect their assigned zone. In addition to the zone officers, who are on duty 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, you have a Neighborhood Enforcement Team Officer permanently assigned to one of the four zones. The NET officer is your liaison to the City of Bryan for issues ranging from quality of life concerns, ongoing criminal acts, and visual plight, both on city or private properties. All NET officers are trained in crime prevention, and would be more than happy to come out and speak at your next homeowner’s association meeting, neighborhood association meeting, or civic organization meeting. The goal of the NET is to find long term solutions to ongoing quality of life issues. The NET officers work a flexible schedule, in order to address the varied complaints they receive. The four Neighborhood Enforcement Team Officers and a corresponding zone map are listed below, along with their contact information. Please don’t hesitate to contact the Neighborhood Enforcement Team to report a concern, give feedback, or to find out which zone you live in.
