 Welcome
to Clearwater Police Online, the Internet
outreach of the Clearwater, Florida Police Department. While this
site will be an ongoing development project for some time, it
is our intent is to make it interactive and informative. Whether
you live or work in Clearwater or are one of our visitors, this
is an excellent opportunity for you to learn more about the operations
of your police department as well as the talented men and women
who make up the organization.
Since I came to Clearwater in 1981, making
technology work for law enforcement has been one of my primary
goals, probably second only to advancing the concept of community
policing. In fact, over the years we have been quite successful
in integrating community policing and technology to make our officers
and the citizens of Clearwater safer and better informed. The
advent of the Internet has given us opportunities previously unavailable
to be more effective in communicating with our citizens and employees.
Our success cannot be credited to technology
and special programs; our success is due to the hard working and
talented men and women that make up the Clearwater Police Department.
From the uniformed patrol officer to the undercover vice detective;
from robbery/homicide investigators to school resource officers;
from police service technicians to dispatchers and all of our
civilian support personnel, they can all take a piece of the credit
for our progress into the next millennium. We demand a lot of
our employees and I am proud of the quality of work that they
consistently deliver. As in any organization, we encounter problems
and controversy from time to time; however, it is my goal as police
chief to be responsive to those issues and learn from them.
I hope you take the time to browse our site;
if you find an area you have questions about or have suggestions
on how we can better serve you, your neighborhood, or your business,
please let us know.
Sincerely,
/s/ Sid Klein
Chief of Police
