OUR HISTORY
The South Street Police Detail was originally activated in 1985 to provide weekend coverage. This detail has evolved into a seven day a week, 24-hours a day, year round service commitment, expanded to cover the entire South Street Head House District and the neighborhoods of Queen Village, Bella Vista and Hawthorne in the 3rd District and part of Society Hill and Washington Square West communities in the 6th District. These neighborhoods are patrolled by police vehicle, bike and street officers in conjunction with the town watch/ public safety committees associated with these neighborhoods.
OUR GOAL
The Friends of the South Street Police Mini-Station, “Friends,” is a partnership of local community and business groups working together to further develop cooperation among the police, the residents, the South Street Police Detail Alliance, and the business community.
The Friends’ goal is to enhance the quality of life and economic viability of our neighborhoods, by raising the level of public safety through police-community vigilance and through law enforcement, to reduce the incidents of crime and increase the citizens’ sense of security. Through the Friends, we support a common goal of safety and security through cooperation.
