- Mission Statement and Core Values
Our mission is to provide the highest level of service, in partnership with the community, to foster a safe atmosphere, promoting the highest quality of life for all people.
Pride: We take pride in our community, our department and the quality of service we provide as a professional law enforcement agency. We pride ourselves on being a service-oriented police department and work hard to earn and maintain the respect of the community for which we serve.
Honor: Honor means living up to the oath taken upon hire. It means understanding and doing what is right and taking pride in the community's acknowledgement of that reputation. One's word is a guarantee. Be true to your promises and live the core values in everything you do. Honor creates trust among members of the department and shows the strength of will to live according to our ethics and values even when tempted to do otherwise.
Integrity: We are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical and moral standards. This commitment holds true in both our personal and professional lives. A person of integrity has the moral courage to do what is right, even when no one is looking.
