Sheriff’s Community Oriented Policing and Engagement

Sheriff’s Community Oriented Policing and Engagement (S.C.O.P.E.)

The SCOPE Deputy works closely with the TCSO Media and Communications Unit to build trust between law enforcement and the community while reducing opportunities for crime. Their duties typically include:

• Developing and implementing crime prevention programs, workshops, and outreach initiatives.
• Building relationships with residents, businesses, schools, and community organizations.
• Conducting safety assessments, presentations, and public awareness campaigns.
• Collaborating with Operations team members and local agencies to address recurring crime trends.
• Organizing community events, neighborhood watch programs, and youth engagement initiatives such as National Night Out Against Crime and youth safety events.

In short: they focus on preventing crime through education, partnerships, and proactive engagement, rather than solely responding to incidents.
