Community Relations

The Community Relations Division seeks to build trust and foster strong positive relationships with our community by engaging the public and developing relationships with community-based organizations, leaders, groups, and stakeholders. The Lake Mary Police Department has consolidated numerous community policing functions within the Community Relations Division. These functions include, but are not limited to, School Resource Officer, Recruiting, and Training.

Sergeant Lena DelGenio supervises the City of Lake Mary Police Department Community Relations Division (CRD). Patrol Officer First Class (PFC) Claudia Hash serves as the Lake Mary Police Department's Public Information Officer and coordinates media interviews and maintains professional relationships with local, state, and national media outlets. Officer William Roberts serves CRD by building strong community partnerships and promoting the departments mission. The Community Relations Unit conducts and organizes fundraising events such as Heroes and Helpers and National Night Out.  Additionally, they are available for community presentations and organize community events, such as the Citizen’s Police Academy and Coffee with a Cop.

The Lake Mary Police Department Community Relations Division is tasked with assisting senior citizens within our community by identifying those at risk or in need of services and acts as the department's liaison to the Seniors Intervention Group (S.I.G.). The S.I.G. is a non-profit organization, which provides financially challenged seniors with various resources such as medical equipment, food, transportation, power bill assistance, disabled trust, and senior related consulting. Additionally, the Community Relations Division acts as the department's liaison to those in need of mental health services.
