Tampa Police Department

The official Facebook page for the Tampa Police Department

During her 28 years as a Tampa Police Officer, Chief Jane Castor has built a reputation for working side by side with citizens, neighborhood leaders, activists and business owners to solve crime problems and improve our community. Those strong partnerships are now the foundation of the Department’s crime reduction strategy, leading to unprecedented success in making Tampa a safer city. Since it’s induction in 2003, Chief Castor’s Focus on Four crime reduction plan has been the driving force behind Tampa’s 61.5% reduction in crime.
