Mayor Dyer Continues Commitment to Increasing Neighborhood Safety with
Opening of South West Neighborhood Police Office
| WHAT: |
On April 30, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, District 5 City
Commissioner Daisy W. Lynum, District 6 City Commissioner Samuel
B. Ings and Police Chief Val Demings will open the City’s fifth
community sub-station. The Southwest Community Police Office
will serve the growing MetroWest section of the City of Orlando,
increasing response times and police presence in those
neighborhoods.
More than 50 patrol officers will report to the Southwest
Community Police Office. The substation will also include a
community room, which will be available for neighborhood
meetings and gatherings.
The substation is part of Mayor Dyer’s continuing commitment to
public safety and his three-year, multi-million dollar Public
Safety Initiative, which put additional police officers
patrolling our streets, established the Safe Orlando Task Force
to develop short and long-term recommendations, and OPD's
deployment of TAC units and Operation Delta. |
