The Crestview Police Department’s Community Services Unit is committed to establishing and maintaining a meaningful and productive partnership with our community. Community Services officers educate citizens about their Police Department and ways that they might be able to protect themselves and their property from crime. The goal of the Community Services Unit is to achieve excellence by facilitating a partnership between police officers and the citizens we serve.
