We will strive to develop police/community partnerships involving neighborhood groups, schools, businesses and individual citizens in order to improve the effectiveness of police services.

We will develop, through training, the skills necessary to lead the community in cooperative efforts to solve problems and consider other solutions before law enforcement actions.
