Neighborhood Safety

One of the most successful neighborhood safety programs is the Community Crime Patrol (CCP), a long-time collaboration between a local non-profit organization using civilian patrollers and the Columbus Police Department. Current neighborhoods with service include the Hilltop, Franklinton, Merion Southwood, the Ohio State University area and several multi-use trails around the City.

Councilmember Andrew J. Ginther were instrumental during the last two budget cycles in increasing funding, first to expand operations in 2006 in the Franklinton neighborhood following a survey of 5,000 area residents and businesses. CCP staff there now supplements City Code enforcement efforts. In 2007, Council added another $225,000 to expand patrols in several new neighborhoods.
