the independence division
0:04
is in the heart of the city you're on a
0:07
major thoroughfare the freeway
0:09
of independence boulevard it's such a
0:12
great place to work if you're a young
0:13
officer
0:14
that you can get to experience a little
0:16
bit of everything that goes on around
0:17
here
0:17
[Music]
0:21
for our officers it's extremely proud
0:23
for them to have a division office that
0:25
sits in a position of prominence
0:27
it looks like a police officer it is
0:29
reflective of the community there's
0:31
community input
0:32
all the way down to the artwork this is
0:34
a culmination of a lot of
0:36
commitment from city council our
0:39
community
0:40
and everyone really wanting us to have a
0:43
really good home this building really
0:44
gives our
0:45
employees a sense of pride somewhat of a
0:48
home away from home
0:49
we know that our officers are now closer
0:52
to the community
0:53
it's positioned in a way that our
0:55
officers can be as responsive
0:57
to the needs of the community as quickly
0:59
as possible
1:00
as you said doors the church are open
1:02
the doors of our buildings are open and
1:04
we have community space within the
1:05
buildings we always put large conference
1:07
rooms
1:08
our expectations that we've able to not
1:10
only serve our citizens there
1:12
but commune with our citizens there one
1:14
of the chiefs core four officer
1:16
employee wellness is something we are
1:18
really
1:20
really prioritizing we're creating an
1:22
environment to where
1:24
our employees are going to be motivated
1:25
to come to work and excel
1:27
and understand that the community that
1:30
we serve
1:31
really depends on them to provide
1:33
quality service
1:39
we do have a responsibility to equip our
1:41
officers with the tools necessary to do
1:43
their jobs
1:44
and it's a facility like this that's
1:45
state of the art that helps us
1:47
fulfill that obligation that
1:49
responsibility to our officers
1:51
residents and businesses alike can
1:53
expect to
1:54
feel that we are part of the community
1:57
they know that this is their facility
1:59
just as much as it is
2:01
cmpd it just in part goes with the
2:04
entire concept and vision that we have
2:07
that we are part of the community just
2:09
like a resident that lives here
2:11
just like a business owner that that
2:13
opens his business here
2:26
