Dickinson Police Department Communication Operators Nationally Recognized Partners with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
In addition to knowing what to ask and how to guide others in an investigation, DPD now has the ability to call up data bases to coordinate information and to track/ manage leads as they are received. They have 24 hour access to the Texas Missing Persons Clearinghouse in Austin and the National Center for Missing Children in Washington D.C. They are able to work with an ‘age progression’ system, offender search through multiple databases, and assistance with AMBER alerts. Communications Supervisor Vernita Rawls traveled to Washington DC to receive the training and to be able to train others. She received additional training in “The Interdiction for the Protection of Children” sponsored by state and national organizations. In her opinion, the NCMEC has given DPD the tools and the ability to go beyond anything they had been able to do before and “It is our intent to continue to provide the highest quality response regarding crimes against children through public education, further training for the officers and readiness drills. As crimes against children are on the rise, we further challenge our area agencies to join in our fight to protect our future by protecting the children in our communities.” As the only law enforcement agency in the greater Houston-Galveston area NCMEC recognized, DPD is committed to assisting any agency with crimes committed against children. If you are interested in learning about the process or bringing this type of training to your agency, call NCMEC at 1.800. THE. LOST or visit their website at www.missingkids.com If you would like additional information, call Communications Supervisor Vernita Rawls at 281.337.4700 ext. 196.

The
Dickinson Police Department and Chief Ron Morales are proud to recognize Captain

On
February 26, 2011, the Dickinson Police Department participated in the City of
Dickinson's first Housing Family Fair. The purpose of the fair was to provide
an opportunity for participants to learn about community resources that are
available to our residents. We had industry professionals on hand to answer
questions and provide information about credit counseling, first time
homebuyer programs, home builders, lenders and homebuyer education providers
for more than 150 people who attended. Based on the response to the first
Housing Family Fair, the City plans to host such an even on an annual basis.
One
of the most difficult calls that communication operators and police officers
receive is that of a missing child or one who has been physically, sexually or
emotionally abused. Emotions are high, leads may be few and time is of the
essence. Knowing what to ask, who to talk with, and getting the most important
information is critical. In an effort to provide quick, efficient response to
cases of missing and sexually exploited children, the Dickinson Police
Department made a significant commitment by having its entire communications
staff receive the training sponsored by the NCMEC. The training included
working with missing children ranging from runaways to throwaways (where
parents give up and stop reporting their children as missing). It addressed
children who are lost, injured, abducted and those who are victims of online
sexual predators, child prostitution, and human trafficking.
