The Oswego Police Department's Community Engagement Unit (CEU) is committed to community-oriented policing in order to cultivate a strong alliance between the Oswego Police Department and its citizens. This approach requires the department to work together with the community to explore proactive approaches to solving problems and reducing crime. Through the strategies employed by CEU, the Oswego Police Department is dedicated toward building this partnership and providing a full-service, community integrated approach to law enforcement.

The goal of this alliance is to encourage public support of the department’s mission, assist in problem identification, and promote cooperative efforts in resolving community issues. Public input also helps ensure that department policies reflect the needs of the community.
