As a resident of the Precinct 7 community, you deserve a constable who is a good leader, an experienced professional, someone who is passionate, and willing to work with you. We will provide high quality police service second to none.
My name is Gary Hicks. I have been a peace officer for over 38 years. I have had an amazing career that has allowed me to serve the public, which I consider a great honor and duty given to me by God. In my career, I have learned a great deal about law enforcement and what it takes to serve the community. Most importantly, I have learned the significance of the relationship between the community and police. This relationship is paramount. To be truly successful, a law enforcement agency must have a good partnership with the community. With your support, we will be able to enhance the quality of life and the safety of all residents in the precinct 7 community.
If elected as your constable, I will emphasize the following:
Good leadership is required at every level to keep the department focused on its goals to work with and serve the community. Good leaders must lead by example. This is the most effective and meaningful way to get results from the rank and file. Therefore, we will not only, “Talk the talk but also walk the walk.”
Professionalism does not mean wearing a uniform or carrying a gun. Rather, it means conducting oneself responsibly, with integrity, accountability, and excellence. It means communicating effectively and appropriately in order to find ways to be productive. Therefore, we are committed to actively listen to all of your concerns and work with you to resolve them.
Being a public servant is an honor given to special individuals who are willing to go the extra mile to get things done to help others. A public servant also cares about the community and will work diligently with the community to protect it. We will make every effort to ensure that all personnel at precinct 7 understands and carries out their duty to serve.
Community policing is a policing philosophy that relies on collaborative partnerships between the police and the community. It promotes strategies which support problem-solving techniques to proactively address issues such as crime, social disorder and fear of crime. When done correctly, community policing can and will effectively address community concerns regarding law and order. We at Precinct 7 promise to always practice community policing and maintain our partnership with community. We will enhance the quality of life and safety of the residents in the Precinct 7 community.
