The Santa Maria Police Department has laid out a multi-year plan to reduce crime and improve community relations. Police Chief Marc Schneider told last night’s City Council meeting the department’s plan included three strategic priorities. Investing in the officers, so they’re better prepared for the future. Engaging in the community, including connecting with the community and serving the most vulnerable. And protecting the community. According to KEYT, the department’s plan will be on its website in about a week.
