Neighborhood Resource Officers (NRO)

About the Program

In order to facilitate this community policing philosophy, the Williamsburg Police Department has implemented a Neighborhood Resource Officer (NRO) program where each district in the city has an NRO assigned to it. This allows each neighborhood to have a point of contact to address issues within the neighborhood and to build relationships between citizens and officers.

Your neighborhood Resource Officer (NRO) is an officer assigned to your neighborhood to address non-emergency situations. They are able to provide advice and assist in directing you to the resources available to address your concerns. See the District Map to learn more about the officer assigned to your district.
