SHOWCASE: COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM
The Community Action Team( CAT) was formed in early 2021 by Chief Al Jones. CAT combined all the District HEAT Units( Hotspot Enforcement Assistance Teams) from across the city into one integrated operational cadre. The purpose of CAT, which has two sergeants and 14 officers, is to identify, arrest, and disrupt criminal enterprises across the City of Arlington. CAT accomplishes this by working closely with both investigative units and patrol districts utilizing intelligence-led policing practices. Whether it is chasing down a dangerous suspect, monitoring a crime scene perimeter, or assisting Patrol officers on a perilous call, CAT is at the forefront of helping keep the Arlington community safe.
