We constantly strive to achieve our mission "to promote public safety and to enhance the quality of life in our community through innovative policing and community partnerships." We accomplish our mission using Problem-Oriented Policing (POP) strategies at the neighborhood level. Guiding our actions are our core values of Pride, Professionalism, Integrity and Teamwork. Our vision is to accomplish excellence in our service to the community, to achieve employee fulfillment, and to set an example for others to follow.
