Team Effort
In addition to these routine assignments, deputies are also organized into teams that are responsible for managing enhanced, problem-oriented policing activities within specific geographic areas of the City.

This networking helps the deputies to identify community problems, the causal factors behind the problems and then attack them from a variety of angles and approaches.
