The Police Department’s mission is to provide quality service by reducing crime, preserving the peace and being responsive to the public. The Department achieves this goal through the effort of its 17 sworn officers and support personnel. Through the Boy Scouts of America, the Police Department hosts an Explorer Post that currently has 3 community members ages 14-20 to assist the department with special functions.
Police officers act as official representatives of government and are required and trusted to work within the law. Officers’ powers and duties are conferred by statute. Fundamental duties of police officers include: serving the community; safeguarding lives and property; protecting the innocent; keeping the peace; and ensuring the rights of all to liberty, equality, and justice and most importantly be readily available to answer all calls for service.
