“We are able to reach more citizens
quicker and more efficiently” Captain
Tracey explains, “We’ve seen an increase
in participation on our Facebook and Twitter accounts. When the Chief posts something to her Twitter feed, people respond.
It’s that personable touch that has made
our virtual programs a success.”
San Leandro Police Department
held its Second Annual Open House on
Saturday, July 27, 2013. The purpose of
the Open House was to let the community
get to know their local Police Department, all while promoting their United
For Safety program. The day was focused
around community involvement and
included demonstrations from the Police
Department’s Traffic, K9 and SWAT units.

“Times are
changing, our
community is
changing, and we
need to change
with it.”
Donations were received from several
local businesses and used as incentives for
citizens to sign up for the CodeRed and
Nixle programs. In addition, they gave
out free, reusable grocery bags that came
with goodies inside as well as bumper and
window stickers. All the give-a-way items
had the United For Safety logo on it.
“I am really looking forward to
driving down the street and seeing United
For Safety bumper, and window stickers,
and more importantly, knowing that our
citizens have made the pledge to make
San Leandro a safer community,” added
Captain Tracey.
