Each district utilizes Q.U.A.D. (Quick Uniformed Attack on Drugs) Squads to aggressively work toward the reduction of open street drug dealing within the city. Implemented in February 1989, the unit's mission includes the investigation of all street level narcotics related offenses; the investigation of street level narcotics violations with the assistance of the residents in the affected community; gathering and dissemination of pertinent street level narcotic intelligence to other divisions; and direct access for citizens to Q.U.A.D. officers assigned to their community. The squads conduct frequent initiatives to remove visible street drug dealers from neighborhoods.

The Street Anti-Crime (SAC) squads assigned to each district are plainclothes units that work in each district to reduce prostitution and prostitution related crimes, as well as robbery, burglary and auto theft related crimes.

A police officer and a Community Service Officer are deployed to each district to act in a proactive approach to crime prevention. The team addresses complaints along with evaluating needs in their district's communities. They also function as the district liaison for the department's Neighborhood Watch Program.
