Interactive Community Policing (ICP) is a philosophy, management style and an organizational strategy that promotes proactive problem solving through active police-community partnerships. Together, we will identify the causes of crime, fear and its consequences, other community concerns and work toward finding long lasting solutions. ICP is not a program. Programs imply a beginning and an end. ICP is a philosophy that will be an integral part of the DeKalb County Police Department, other government sectors and the community we serve.

The ICP Unit will facilitate a working partnership between the community, government services and the police department. This will be accomplished by working with the youth, schools, seniors, apartment managers, homeowners, renters, businesses, religious groups and all other community members throughout the county. The mission of these partnerships will include but not be limited to: addressing on-going neighborhood concerns, hazards, working with residential and business communities to reduce crime, encouraging alternate youth programs, coordinating efforts with other county departments such as Code Enforcement to enforce our laws, reduce crime and the fear of crime.
