The Neighbourhood Action Team (NAT) Concept
Based on the research and recommendations surrounding community policing, it was decided that one of the first steps in moving forward would be to redeploy the ward-based community officers from the Patrol/Community Division into a newly formed Neighbourhood Action Team. Community Policing would no longer be a section within a large Division, but essentially a Division unto itself.
The Neighbourhood Action Team is designed to be a dynamic, vibrant, responsive, and accountable team of uniform officers, plain-clothes detectives, civilian employees, and community volunteers. The Neighbourhood Action Team is now a central and driving force for the organization. This Team is committed to working with others to address current & evolving public safety needs by engaging our members and partners through ongoing communication, education and evaluation.
