Preventing crime while protecting life, property and individual rights is the priority of our department. Accordingly, the Campobello Police Department provides a wide range of police services to assist our citizens with quality of life issues related to crime prevention and control.
As chief of police I am committed to the Campobello community. The extension of this commitment is my belief that the only way to combat crime is to work in cooperation with community members. I firmly believe that true crime prevention can only be achieved when the focus of police activity is shifted away from simple call response to that of proactive problem solving identification that focuses on solving those problems before they become crime.
As chief of police I will ensure the continued spirit of police-community cooperation by requiring police officers to be more than just law enforcement officers. I will encourage them to be community activists. I am proud of the men of the Campobello Police Department who continue to dedicate their lives to something larger than themselves...professional policing.
Bear, a Belgian Malinois, joined Campobello in 2007 from the Conway Police Department as a patrol dog. His duties included detecting narcotics, tracking criminals, and ensuring safety. Partnered with Lt. Brandon McNeill, they were dedicated to their work until Bear's final days. In February 2011, Bear bravely battled cancer but completed his last case just days before his passing on April 12, 2011.
