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.​
