The mission of this police department is to enhance the quality of life in our community by working cooperatively with the public to prevent crime, preserve the peace, enforce the laws with respect to the constitutional rights of all citizens, reduce fear, and provide for a safe community environment.

A top priority of all Americans is a safe, secure environment in which they are enabled to pursue their goals and ambitions free from the encumbrances of criminal elements. Rapid societal changes challenge the traditional role of law enforcement as crime fighter and law enforcer. Today, law enforcement must transcend its traditional role and utilize mutual problem-solving and community-based strategies to maximize crime prevention and crime control.
