City of Salem Ohio Police Department
We are an equal opportunity employer.
The Mission of the City of Salem Police Department is to provide safety, security, and a high quality of life to all persons within our jurisdictional boundaries to the best of our ability.
In any civilization in which many people live in a limited area there is a need for those people to have rules of behavior to live by in order to co-exist peacefully and safely with one another. In the United States of America, the State of Ohio, and the City of Salem these rules are set forth in the form of the State and National constitutions, laws and ordinances. The Salem Police Department exercises those laws and ordinances as is necessary in its commitment to provide safety and security to all.
We, the members of the Salem Police Department, are people of this community, working in this community, for the betterment of this community. We strive to offer respect and dignity to everybody with whom we come in contact. We work to protect and serve those in need of our unique ability and authority, which has been entrusted to us by the very people we serve. And we thank the citizens of the City of Salem for the opportunity to perform this vital service.
