The Police Department’s primary responsibility is to promote and maintain public safety and security for citizens and businesses and their property as prescribed by federal, state, and local laws.
With proactive community programs designed to prevent crime as well as efficient, thorough investigations of crimes committed, the Police Department creates and maintains a safe and secure environment for residents, visitors, and business owners in our community.
We, the members of the Buffalo Police Department contribute to the quality of life for everyone who lives, works, learns, plays, visits and conducts business in Buffalo.
We accomplish our mission by working in partnership with our community; through problem solving; impartial application of the law; and the promotion of trust and mutual respect; and vigorously pursuing those who choose to break the law or infringe upon the rights of others while making the best use of all resources entrusted to us.
