The Contract Deputy Program provides high visibility which helps in reducing crime in the area.  The CDP is a way for neighborhoods and subdivisions that want or need additional patrol services to increase existing law enforcement services. Aside from regular patrol duties, calls for service and traffic enforcement, the CDP provides special services such as vacation watches for residents who may be out of town or have a particular problem that needs to be addressed.
