Citizens Advisory Panel now accepting applications

In 2015, the Fredericksburg Police Department established a Citizens Advisory Panel (CAP) to facilitate two-way communication between the Fredericksburg Police Department and key stakeholders in the community it serves. The goal of the Citizen Advisory Panel is to enhance community relations through:

• Creating a climate of trust between the community and the Fredericksburg Police Department by enhancing awareness of the Department’s policies, procedures, programs, and responsibilities
• Providing a forum for the Chief of Police to actively listen to concerns regarding police services or social problems and find solutions by working together

Interested in becoming a CAP Member? Apply today.

The Fredericksburg Police Department is expanding the Citizens Advisory Panel and now accepting applications to fill five spots. The Department is committed to ensuring the panel is inclusive and includes people from schools / universities, young adults between the ages of 18 to 30, the business community, racial, social, or economic justice organizations, the faith-based community, and the LGBTQ community.

To learn about the expectations of a Citizens Advisory Panel member and the important role they play, please read the Citizens Advisory Panel Charter in its entirety.
