MPACT

MPACT is Marion Police And Community Together. It was officially established as an active program in March of 2016.

Lt. BJ Gruber was recently promoted to Major in charge of Operations (Patrol), so Lt. Ed Brown took over as the MPACT Coordinator. Although Lt. Brown is responsible for the day to day operations of MPACT and ensuring that we are meeting our established goals and maintaining an upward trajectory, we could not accomplish this without an “all in” mentality throughout the department. Our SRO’s work hard in delivering the mission of MPACT and Officer Montel Smith does the same in his grant-funded position of Juvenile MPACT Officer. Our officers have continued to embrace the MPACT ideology which is perhaps most important. We continually receive accolades from the public by card, email or on Facebook mentioning some “above and beyond” act by one of our officers.

A few years ago, the police department established a code enforcement position and Officer Casey Thomas was selected to fill this position. Officer Thomas focuses on enforcing the laws related junk motor vehicles and scrap tires. His goal is to help clean up these nuisance issues in the City through voluntary compliance which he is able to get the vast majority of the time.
