Campaign
Three Highlights
Health,
Safety and Responsibility
Working with public health and safety
organizations; encouraging citizens to improve the welfare
of themselves and those around them.
|
Fireman Adopt-A-School
Each of the 16 fire stations has developed a relationship
with a neighborhood school. The captain of each station
meets with the principal and teachers to develop strategies
to raise awareness of fire safety and provide students
with role models and mentors. |
311 System
In January 2001, the Rochester Police Department implemented
the 311 system that is a non-emergency, quality of life
phone line, routed to a sworn officer. Since its inception,
the 311 line has received nearly 100,000 calls. |

Metropolitan
Medical Response System (MMRS)
The Rochester Fire Department was awarded a $400,000
grant from the US Department of Health and Human Services
to integrate first-responder and medical resources into
the local emergency management plan to better respond
to the health and medical consequences of nuclear, biological
or chemical terrorist incident. |
Kodak Rochester
2010 Grant Strengthens PAC-TAC
Thanks to a grant received from The Kodak Rochester 2010
Program, PAC-TAC programs have been strengthened in Sectors
3 and 5. In Sector 3, ten new members will be added to
create patrols that will target specific crime-ridden
neighborhoods. In Sector 5, the first PAC-TAC bicycle
team was created to allow Police-Citizen teams to cover
larger areas and provide a quicker response. |
 W-Kids
Fire Safety House
The Rochester Fire Department stepped up its fire safety
efforts. The department introduced the W-Kids Fire Safety
House (donated by Wegmans and Chase-Pitkin) — a mobile classroom with child-sized
rooms featuring real life “hazards” that allow students to
safely experience the sights, sounds and dangers of fires
in the home.
 Fire
Department Open House
The Fire Department hosted five open houses with equipment
demonstrations, fire safety displays, tours and presentations
from other organizations such as the American Red Cross, the
Lead Poisoning Prevention Center, the American Heart Association
and other groups.
During the 24 month Phase 1 Implementation of the Plan,
the City of Rochester invested $197,971,600 on municipal
operations and programs in support of the “Health, Safety and Responsibility” Campaign
goals and policies. In addition, $630,000 in external funding
was devoted to this campaign by community partners including
Eastman Kodak, Wegmans and others.
