Thank you and we look forward to staying connected with you as we work together as a community to get through this challenging time.

We encourage everyone to take care of one another. These are the moments that test a community but can also bring out the best in us. Please help educate your friends and neighbors using factual information from official health sources (linked below or attached to this message).

Key actions to Stop the Spread of Germs (from the CDC)
1. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
2. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
4. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

TAKE SURVEY

The Community Capitals Framework (CCF) is an approach originally developed by economists Jan and Cornelia Flora to analyze communities and community development efforts from a systems perspective. The Floras found that the communities that best supported economic development focused on seven types of capital, not just traditional investment in real estate.

The Sheriff's Office and DSAL have adapted the model to frame a bold new approach to public safety. Community Capitals policing leverages:

“Traditional” community-oriented and problem-solving policing
The Police Activities League model: DSAL's soccer, boxing, fitness and events
Creative Placemaking: murals, festivals, and performances
Economic Development: working to create new opportunities for business and entrepreneurs

to rebuild the social fabric, foster collective efficacy and promote a sense of permanence among community members.
