What is the Community Partner Program? The Community Partner Program is a partnership between responsible business members of
the community and the Elkton Police Department. The program is part of an initiative to more fully integrate Town of Elkton
businesses and law enforcement, for the benefit of the Elkton community.
What are my responsibilities as a Community Partner? You will be responsible for communication with the Elkton Police Department to maintain safety and security awareness as related to
your business, your customers and our community. To the greatest practical extent, this awareness should translate into actions
that minimize the potential for adverse safety/security incidents, help ensure appropriate access to hazardous materials, reflect
a positive community image and team with the Elkton Police Department.
What can I expect from the Elkton Police Department? The Elkton Police Department will function as a focal point for security and hazardous substance information. The Elkton Police
Department will also keep you informed on special issues as they arise and are relevant to your business and customers. The
Elkton Police Department will provide a Community Partner window sticker for you to display at your business.
Will I have to
pay a Community Partner membership fee? No. There is no membership fee.
Is my status as a Community Partner permanent? You or the Elkton Police Department can cancel your status as a Community Partner without explanation. However, the Elkton Police
Department is interested in any suggestions and ideas that would support continued membership, rather than cancellation.
How
do I contact the Elkton Police Department to discuss this Program? The Elkton Police Department Community Resource Coordinator
is Dr. Gary Jepson. He can be contacted by email at crc.epd@verizon.net or by phone at 410-398-4200 Ext 40/ cell phone 302-293-4581.
Special Note: The Elkton Police Department is committed to providing high quality service to all Town of Elkton members and businesses, without consideration for Community Partner Program membership.
