Police 3-2-1 Program
The 3-2-1 Police Residency Program was designed by the CRDA in cooperation with the Atlantic City Police Department and the Police Foundation. The goal of the program is to help stabilize Atlantic City neighborhoods by making them more economically viable and safer for the citizens who live and work there. This is accomplished by offering incentives to Atlantic City police officers who move into city neighborhoods and carry out certain community-oriented policing activities. Officers can choose existing residences (including condominiums), rehabilitate older homes, build new ones, or re-finance their existing Atlantic City home. Under the Police 3-2-1 Program, marked motor patrol units will be assigned to participating officers to take home and use during off duty hours. This will create a greater police presence and assist in efforts to deter crime.
