Programs

Adopt-A-Cop

The Lexington Police Department Foundation is an innovative approach to community resource development because it is targeted at specific needs identified by personnel at all levels of the Lexington Police Department. It can provide funding to pilot new programs and assess their effectiveness prior to integration into long-term budgets.

Chaplain Program

Chaplains are available to assist with victims or families during a critical incident, can be present during death notifications, and serve as a liaison with clergy in the community.

Citizen's Police Academy

The Citizen's Police Academy was started in 2004 and provides an opportunity for the Town of Lexington community to learn firsthand about the various operations of the Lexington Police Department.

Community Action Team

At its heart, community oriented policing is a philosophy under which enforcement, prevention, problem solving, and community involvement are used simultaneously to attack crime and its root causes. Because community oriented policing requires a proactive approach to be successful, the police and community must work together as partners in identifying and addressing issues and problems.
