Today’s Good News
Kudos to Officer Jason McClendon who was named Second Precinct’s Officer of the Month for June! When there’s a complaint to be solved in Sector 212, Officer McClendon is often one of the first officers that comes to mind to fix the issue.

Last month, Officer McClendon took an active role in reducing robberies and burglaries in his sector and one of the ways he did that was by building better relationships with business owners and community members. He also advised employees about robbery prevention tips.

In an effort to reduce crime in the Southwood community, he gets to know the residents and encourages them to report illegal and suspicious behavior. He does this by getting out of his car and doing as much walking patrol as he can. This has resulted in several good community partnerships and the gathering of information about several suspicious individuals in the area. These are just a few examples of why Officer Jason McClendon is our Second Precinct Officer of the Month for June! Thank you and congratulations!
