Police Sergeants Assigned to Aldermanic Districts
Neighborhood Watch Programs to Start
March 1, 2008

The City of Burlington is divided into four Aldermanic Districts. The police department will begin to take advantage of these districts to help improve communication with our residents and improve our services. A Police Sergeant will be assigned to each district and respond to problems and concerns. The goal of the new districts is to open lines of communication between Citizens, Aldermanic Representatives and the Police. These districts will allow sergeants to apply their resources to a specific area of the city and develop a relationship with the people who live there. We are implementing plans to develop community meetings, Neighborhood Watch programs, and initiatives to help people get to know the police on a first name basis.

Often the police will find, through communication, many problems are very minor and can easily be fixed making Burlington a better place to live.

People interested in starting a Neighborhood Watch program should contact Chief Scot Eisenhauer (262) 342-1102.
