Neighborhood Service Coordinators (NSC) A neighborhood service coordinator acts as a liaison between the police department and other governmental agencies, and can answer any crime-related question.  Neighborhood Service Coordinators handle all kinds of police issues, and can direct you to the appropriate person and/or agency for assistance.  Call your NSC if you are not sure which agency is supposed to address your concern. Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) Neighborhood Crime Prevention Councils are associations of residents that collaborate with the police department to reduce crime in their areas.  They function as the eyes and ears of a community, and help inform the police about incidents of crime.  Call your council to get involved in crime reduction in your area, or to report a concern after you have contacted the police.
