HVPD Receives International Community Policing Award
The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) has selected the Highland Village Police Department to receive a major international award for its community policing efforts with its innovative Value Based Policing.
On November 12, 2008, Police Chief Ed O'Bara will receive the 2008 Community Policing Award at the annual IACP Conference in San Diego, CA. HVPD's Value Based Policing will be featured at the conference in a community-policing workshop for other law enforcement professionals.
The Highland Village Police Department's "Value Based Policing" is an innovative, easily adaptable and cost effective way to focus daily performance of Patrol Officers on activities that fully support and strengthen the policing expectations of our community. One of the greatest benefit of the model is that it fully focuses patrol attention on the prevention of crime and encourages officers to actively seek and engage in opportunities that involve positive interactions with citizens.
