The St. Petersburg Police Department has found that education has been most effective in gaining understanding and support from the community. The Citizen's Police Academy offers citizens insights into how police officers perform their duties and how the department serves the community.

Mission of the Academy

By anonymously reporting drug and criminal activity, YOU can make a difference!

What Is It?
The St. Petersburg Police Department provides a confidential telephone TIP LINE to permit individuals to provide valuable information in an anonymous manner. The department's goal in providing this service is to obtain information on criminal activity that is unattainable through conventional methods and to assit the department in the investigation of criminal activity that might otherwise go unreported.

How to Start a Neighborhood Crime Watch

• Organize a small group of neighbors to discuss concerns, the level of interest, and possible neighborhood problems.
• Schedule a date, place and time to hold your first crime watch meeting.
• Contact the Crime Prevention Unit 893-7128

Neighborhood Crime Watch Police and Citizens Stopping Crime Together

Neighborhood Crime Watch is one of the most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime and reduce fear. It bonds area residents to help reduce crime and improves relations between the police and communities they serve.
