District Crime Suppression Teams (DCST)

Goal
.

To be a proactive source in patrol, working a variety of immediate problems to include: parole violators, wanted persons, drug houses, sex offenders, gang problems, and crime trends.

The District Crime Suppression Teams were established under the leadership of Chief Jerry Dyer in April of 2002 as part of a Department-wide reorganization. In an effort to make the response to crime more prompt, District Crime Suppression Teams are assigned to the individual District Commanders as a pro-active crime fighting resource. The District Crime Suppression Teams are comprised of ten supervisors and sixty officers. There are two teams in each policing district who operate with the mission of providing safety, service and trust with our community.
