To enhance the quality of life within our community by:

• Preserving peace and maintaining order.
  
  
• Enforcing the law.
  
  
• Protecting life and property.
  
  
• Reducing the fear of crime by preventative and direct control techniques, increasing public awareness to eliminate opportunities for criminal activity, protecting individual rights as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, and providing for additional community service needs.

The active involvement of City residents through the formation of a public/private sector partnership is essential to the accomplishment of these items.
