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
Due to recent retirements from the Citizen’s Advisory Panel, Police Chief Layton is now accepting applications for three new members. Applicants must either live or work in the City of Fredericksburg. Applications must be submitted by September 30th, 2022 and interviews will be conducted during October 2022. To apply, click here.
