Alameda.<\/p>\n<p>CCPD Crime Prevention Specialist Melissa M. Castro encourages community members to come out and get to know their local police.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our community works so well with our officers. We&#8217;re trying to promote that we do not want anyone to be a victim of any crime, and the best way to do that is to make sure everyone knows what&#8217;s going on. If you see something, say something.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Castro said the department is promoting a self-environment within the community. A night out to meet your local officers and ways to find out about how you can make a difference by volunteering, being part of a neighborhood watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Castro notes that for those interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement, they offer a program that provides training to young adults aged 14\u201320.
