Core Values

​People.
Our department is made up of dedicated men and women who show up every day to do a difficult job. We are going to support our officers, provide them with the resources they need, and hold them to a high standard of professionalism and accountability. At the same time, we are committed to treating every member of this community with respect and professionalism.

​

Positivity.
We’re going to stay focused on the positive work we do as an agency, while also building a professional and supportive work environment for our people. When our internal environment is strong, the service we provide to the community naturally improves.

​

That doesn’t mean ignoring challenges—it means addressing them the right way. We’re going to be visible, engaged, and present in our neighborhoods. You’ll see more interaction, more communication, and a continued effort to strengthen the relationship between the police department and the community we serve.

​​

Purpose.
Everything we do will be centered on our core mission: protecting this community and delivering effective, fair, and consistent policing. We are going to stay focused, disciplined, and aligned in our efforts.​
