Community Outreach

The Socorro Police Department strives to create a strong relationship with the Socorro community that is built on a foundation of trust, honesty, and mutual respect. The Socorro Police Department fully believes in a community policing model of intervention, wherein community members and police officers work together to identify problems, develop solutions, and implement change. In order for community members to see the other side of police work, we invite members of the community to participate in various programs that offer an authentic look into police work as well as the opportunity to create trusting relationships with our officers.
