COMMUNITY RESOURCES

               Department at a Glance

               The Community Resource Department (CRD) includes five Community Resource Officers (CROs). The
               Community Resource Department is dedicated to a strong partnership between Mansfield Police and the
               residents of Mansfield. This is accomplished by providing the highest level of community service through
               many community-centered programs, including National Night Out. This department  budget  increased
               9.61% in FY 2020-2021 due to personnel changes and some supply cost increases.
