Mission Statement

This department constitutes an organization whose very existence is justified solely on the basis of community service. Although departmental regulations provide a working pattern, our official activity must not, and shall not be confined within the limited orbit described by them. We shall consider it our duty and privilege, not only to protect our citizens from the criminal, but also to protect and defend the rights of all citizens guaranteed under our structure of government. A society free from crime and disorder remains an unachieved ideal; nevertheless, it is the primary objective of this department to enforce the Criminal and Civil laws in a fair and impartial manner, recognizing both the statutory and judicial limitations of police authority and the constitutional rights of all persons. It is not the role of the department to legislate, to render judgments or to punish. Members and employees of the department shall consider it their duties and responsibilities to be consistent with the responsibilities of the department. Members and employees are expected to carry out their responsibilities diligently and courteously, and to endeavor to take pride in the services they provide.
