The Cambridge Spy’s P. Ryan Anthony and WHCP’s Jim Brady recently sat down with Chief of Police Justin Todd for their regular check-in, covering a wide range of topics shaping public safety and more in Cambridge.
Chief Todd updated residents on what officers are seeing during patrols and any emerging crime trends, explained how the department’s Drone Program is deployed in real-world situations, and shared how the city’s first police cadet, Evan Kozak, is progressing in his training. He also discussed the continued evolution of community policing, including outreach efforts like Capt. Patton’s October visit to the Dare Care Center, where children learned about the supportive role officers play.
The Chief offered insight into the daily realities faced by school resource officers, reflected on lessons gained from meeting with Anne Arundel County’s Crisis Intervention Team, and spoke candidly about the ongoing challenge of officer retention, and what strategies might help Cambridge keep the talent it trains.
