c. Apprehension of Offenders <br /> Once a crime has been committed, it is the duty of the <br /> Department to initiate the Criminal Justice process by <br /> identifying and arresting the perpetrator, to obtain the <br /> necessary evidence, and to cooperate with other law <br /> enforcement agencies and the courts in the prosecution <br /> of the case. <br /> d. Recovery and Return of Property <br /> The Department makes every reasonable effort to recover <br /> lost or stolen property, to identify the owner(s), and to <br /> ensure its prompt return. <br /> e. Traffic Control <br /> To facilitate the safe and expeditious movement of <br /> vehicular and pedestrian traffic, the Department enforces <br /> traffic laws, investigates traffic accidents, and directs <br /> traffic. <br /> f. Public Service <br /> The public relies on the Police Department for assistance <br /> and advice in many routine and emergency situations <br /> which occur in the community. Although many of these <br /> calls are not police regulated, we respond to those <br /> requests and render such aid and/or advice as indicated <br /> by the situation. <br /> g. Animal Control/Nuisance Abatement <br /> The Community Service Officer and Officers of the <br /> Department enforce the animal control and nuisance <br /> ordinances. The Department impounds dogs and other <br /> animals and interacts with residents to maintain the health <br /> and safety of the community. <br /> 20 <br />
