Joint Community Police Partnership

The Hopkins Police Department continues to be part of the Joint Community Police Partnership (JCPP), an award-winning, collaborative effort in the west metro to enhance communication and understanding between law enforcement and multicultural residents. With Hopkins’ diverse community, this program is an essential part of the police department’s delivery of service to our residents.

JCPP - Procedural Justice Training

Strategic Plan of Action

To work toward achieving its mission, the JCPP adopts four main strategies:

  • Training for community members about police procedures and laws in order to improve community members’ knowledge and understanding about what is expected of them
  • Training for police officers, including the provision of information about cultural groups residing in their cities as well as Spanish language instruction
  • Hiring personnel sensitive to the needs our diverse community, such as community liaisons who work at the police departments, multicultural cadets and/or multicultural community service officers
  • The creation of a Multicultural Advisory Committee to serve as a communication bridge between the police departments and diverse community residents
