Sergeant Anthony Coleman Watch Supervisor North County Precinct (314) 355-1200 [E-mail Sergeant Coleman]

Sergeant Coleman joined the Department in 1984 after serving six years in the United States Air Force. He received awards for top academic and firearms achievements in his academy class. He also received a Chief's Commendation for being the number one overall recruit.

He spent the first ten years of his career assigned to the North County Precinct. During his tenure in the North County Precinct he served the majority of his time as the Police Community Relations (PCR) Officer working directly for the Precinct Commander. He was responsible for crime prevention initiatives including Neighborhood Watch and working in the schools to educate youth on a myriad of subjects ranging from character building to Driver's Education classes. He was also part of the first group of officers to teach the DARE program in St. Louis County. Sergeant Coleman was also at the forefront of the Department's commitment to curb the initial onset of gang activity in North County. He was assigned to several local and regional gang task force operations and worked with the community to help families understand and combat the lure of gangs.

Because of his commitment to the community, Sergeant Coleman was tasked to help develop and administer the Department's inaugural Memorial Golf Tournament which raises funds for the Department's Welfare Association. Sergeant Coleman managed the event for several years and received a commendation from the County Executive for his efforts. The annual event continues to this day.

Under the direction of Captain John Rosenthal, Sergeant Coleman was instrumental in developing the Department's Neighborhood Policing program. The North County Precinct was tasked to create a "pilot" program designed to find innovative ways to involve the community in both crime prevention and the reduction of habitual problem areas within the precinct. Originally called the "Crime Car Program," the pilot was so successful it was adopted Department wide. Although similar Community Oriented Programs (COP) were being implemented in other jurisdictions, Sergeant Coleman felt the term "community" was too broad to accurately describe the initiative. Believing that neighborhoods are the building blocks for the community, he suggested the title, Neighborhood Policing. The Neighborhood Policing Program now has specialized officers assigned to each Precinct and continues to work closely with our neighborhoods to address common concerns.

During the child abduction case of Cassidy Senter, which is one of the largest criminal investigations in the Department's history, Sergeant Coleman was assigned the task of working directly with the family and maintaining communication with local and national media. As part of his duties during this period, he produced a video regarding child protection that was distributed nationwide and earned the Department a Telly award. He received an Award of Excellence and numerous civic awards for his efforts.

Sergeant Coleman was then assigned to the Chief's Office with the task of transforming the Department's media relations program to better serve the community by increasing the Department's interaction with local media outlets. The model developed during this transformation is still in effect to this day. Also during this period, Sergeant Coleman was tasked to assist the Department in implementing many innovative programs. He was assigned by the County Executive to work on school safety issues including Fight-Free Schools and he initiated the safe schools hotline. The safe-schools hotline gives students, parents and others the ability to safely report illegal or dangerous activity regarding their school without fear of being identified. The program remains a vital tool in keeping our children safe at school. He took the Department's computer based program designed to check on the well-being of elderly residents and merged it with the County Older Residents Program in order to better serve the target audience. He testified before the State Senate hearing regarding school safety issues during sessions that helped lead to improvements in the Safe Schools Act. Sergeant Coleman taught Crime Prevention and Ethics to new recruits as a guest instructor at the County Municipal Police Academy. He also assisted with the newly formed Municipal Services Unit which continues to coordinate unparalleled service to those communities wishing to contract for professional police services provided by the St. Louis County Police Department.

After being promoted in 1995 he continued his commitment to the community by serving on the Neighborhood Policing Committee and working as the Neighborhood Policing Sergeant in the West County Precinct. He coordinated municipal contracts with Twin Oaks, Hanley Hills, Velda Village Hills, Pasadena Hills and Norwood Court. He also administered the School Resource Officer Program in the West County Precinct. Sergeant Coleman was assigned to Communications during the Department's transition to a new computerized dispatching system. Sergeant Coleman was a trainer during this process and helped ensure a very difficult transition did not adversely affect the safety and security of officers and the community.

After serving in Communications, West County and South County, Sergeant Coleman is back at home in the North County Precinct. He continues to look for innovative ways to involve the community to help fight the myriad of problems faced by law enforcement today. He remains firm in his belief that cooperation between the Community and the Department is the best way to create a safe environment for us to live, work and play.
