The department assigns five Fort Myers police officers to patrol the city's public housing developments. These officers are available to respond to all calls for service and crimes reported in the public housing complexes, but they also serve as community policing officers.

Rather than just respond from call to call, the public housing officers work closely with residents to identify ongoing problems. The goal is not simply to reduce crime, but to improve the quality of life in the developments.

Officers follow-up on all crimes reported in public housing to prevent future problems. They also work closely with the public housing managers and resident leaders. Officers are involved in everything from screening potential tenants to helping evict those residents who cause problems.
