The Hollywood Police
Department has continued to improve the quality of life in the City of
Hollywood by creating partnerships with the community, as well as strictly
enforcing order maintenance issues. The following is a brief summary
of noteworthy accomplishments in various communities throughout the city.
As a way of ensuring public safety, C.O.P.
Officers began checking on sexual offenders in their respective neighborhoods.
Sexual Predators and offenders are contacted on a monthly or weekly basis,
depending on the situation, and their residence, contact information, job
status and location, and vehicle information is constantly updated and
kept on file within the Hollywood Police Department's database.
FDLE
(The Florida Department of Law Enforcement) keeps an updated on-line
database of Florida's missing children, wanted criminals, and sexual offenders
and predators, as well as other items of interest. FDLE also has
a legal explanation of the difference between sexual offenders and predators.
Landlord/Tenant
classes are hosted by the Community Policing Division. These
classes are very informative and help landlords deal with problem tenants
and teach them how to identify and avoid renting to a potential problem
tenant. At times, class attendance has reached over 200 property
owners.
The Community Policing Division conducts
periodic investigations at convenience stores and bars throughout the City
to ensure compliance with alcohol laws regarding the licensing, hours of
operation, and legal age requirements of customers and employees.
Nuisance Abatement:
The Community Policing Division is also responsible for investigating and
presenting Nuisance Abatement cases for any place or premises within the
City which has been used on more than two occasions within a six-month
period as the site of an unlawful sale, manufacture, or delivery of controlled
substances, or as the site of prostitution related activity.
Officers are also working with residents
in the South Central neighborhood for “Drug Free School Zone” signs warning
buyers that they face a mandatory jail sentence due to the close proximity
of schools, churches, etc.
The Hollywood Police Department believes
that reducing Truancy will reduce the crime rate in the City, therefore,
Neighborhood Services Officers are assigned to detain and deliver Truants
to the Juvenile Intake Facility (JIF) if criteria is met.
