The Eureka Police Department's Community Safety Engagement Team (CSET) originated in July 2018. CSET's mission is "to proactively address quality of life, crime and disorder problems in Old Town, along the waterfront, and in city parks while developing strategies to ultimately improve upon or eliminate these issues."
CSET is staffed with a Sergeant, MIST Officer, Old Town Officer, two Parks/Waterfront Rangers, a Homeless Liaison, and a volunteer substance abuse / mental health professional. CSET also shares two Homeless Outreach Workers (HOW) with UPLIFT Eureka. The MIST Officer, one of the Parks/Waterfront Rangers, the Homeless Liaison, and one of the Homeless Outreach Workers are funded through Measure Z.
