The Community Advocacy Program (CAP) coordinates all of the Grand Junction Police Department's community- and problem-oriented policing projects. CAP officers serve as liaisons between community members and the patrol officers assigned to specific geographical areas. CAP's oversight includes Crime Prevention programs, Crime Stoppers (see below, right), and School Resource Officers.

Neighborhood Watch
This highly successful crime prevention program is based on neighbors working together with police to keep their neighborhood safe. For more information about Neighborhood Watch, contact officers at the Mesa Mall Substation.

The team coordinates many other programs, including:

The GJPD's School Resource Officers (SROs) provide education of laws and an open line of communication between law enforcement and students, parents, teachers and administrators in School District 51. They work to reduce crime through education and by serving as role models. They conduct law-related education courses in schools to help young people learn about the legal system and personal safety, show positive alternatives to drugs and violence, and work to keep the school environments safe for everyone.

The success of the School Resource Program continues to provide role models, education of laws, and an open line of communication between students, school faculty, parents and law enforcement.

Crime Stoppers works through the efforts of the media, community and lawenforcement to publicize the "Crime of the Week." The Crime Stoppers phone line is not recorded and has no caller ID. Information provided by callers is routed to the law enforcement agency investigating the case. If information leads to an arrest, up to $1,000.00 may be rewarded to the caller. If you have information about a crime or suspect, call 241-STOP (7867) or 1-800 221-STOP (7867).

Bike Registration Program

This program helps police quickly locate the owner of a stolen bicycle once it is recovered. The owner's information is kept on file, which helps police match the recovered bike's information to the owner. Submit the completed Bicycle Registration Form to the Grand Junction Police Department (including the Mesa Mall Substation) or turn it in at any Grand Junction Bike Rodeo event.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education

Drug Abuse Resistance Education is taught in elementary and middle schools in the City of Grand Junction. The GJPD has taught DARE since 1993.
