We demand excellence in the quality of our law enforcement, stressing professionalism, integrity and timeliness, so that those we serve may feel secure.
From the members of our department we expect honesty, candor and a sense of pride in doing the best they can. We encourage the flow of information and exchange of ideas. We are relentless in the identification, apprehension and prosecution of criminals. We value innovation and proactive approaches in meeting our crime prevention and enforcement responsibilities and recognize the importance of each individual's role in the organization. Through education, training and future planning, we maintain highly capable guardians of the community, and expect them to be known for their character, commitment and competence.
Above all, we remember our sworn oath to ensure the Constitutional rights of all people. We serve them with honor, treat them with dignity and welcome their assistance in assuring the safety and security of our community.
