Sergeant Aaron Dunbar commands the Community Resource Division. Sgt. Dunbar is responsible for our community programs, including crime prevention through education, and coordinating department training and grants. He is also the department's public information officer, providing the media with timely information about incidents and crimes that occur within the city and fielding general questions from the public.

As part of the Community Resource Division, Sgt. Dunbar is responsible for the coordination of special events such as our Citizen Academy and the department's participation in Graffiti Night festivities and Music on the Halfshell.

Another part of Community Resources is the Volunteers in Police Service Program. The VIPS program provides an opportunity for senior volunteers to get involved in their community through the police department. VIPS members provide hundreds of hours of service each month by conducting vacation house checks, operating the radar reader board, establishing traffic control at accidents and special events, enforcing disabled parking violations, conducting foot patrols, and abandoned vehicle mitigation.

In the station, VIPS provide services ranging from fingerprinting to subpoena service to court bailiff.
