Police Vision • Mission • Values

Vision:
To be a trusted and forward-thinking police department that protects our village through wonderful community partnerships, innovations and a sharded commitment to safety and respect for all residents and guests.
Mission:
To serve the village with integrity, protect with compassion, empathy and engage with our community to maintain a safe and thriving village. We aim to prevent crime, solve issues collaboratively and protect with transparency and accountability.
Core Values:
1. Community First
We as a department believe public safety is a shared responsibility. By us working together with our residents, community partners and businesses we build trust, solve problems and strengthen our village all together.
2. Integrity and Accountability
We always do what’s right-even when no one is watching. We hold ourselves to the highest standards and take responsibility for our actions.
3. Proactive Policing
We use place-based, person-focused, problem-oriented, and community-based police techniques to prevent crime rather than waiting for an issue or problem to occur.
4. Safety and well-being
Our core duty is to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone – by protecting life, promoting peace and supporting healthier and safer lives.
5. Respect and Fairness
Everyone in the community should be treated equally and with the utmost decency. We try to serve with compassion and understanding for everyone, and we appreciate the diversity of the community.
6. Innovation and Progress
As a department, we welcome innovative concepts, tools, and methods that will improve our work and enable us to better serve the village.
