The Neenah Police Department Crime Prevention Program is focused on working with the community to develop partnerships designed to ultimately reduce crime.  Our Crime Prevention Coordinator, Pam Martin, acts as a liaison to community groups and as the manager of our crime prevention programming.  We partner with groups like the Neenah Joint School District, TRICOM, and the YMCA in order to address community concerns and provide education and resources to the community.
