The following values guide the department in accomplishing this Mission:
Integrity Nothing less than total candor is required of all personnel when making official reports, providing testimony, and dealing with any internal matter.
Courage When faced with danger, members should take calculated risks to protect savable lives and put the safety of innocent persons before their own. Courage is demonstrated not only by physical acts, but also by intellectual and moral acts, which will be pursued despite adversity to uphold the law.
Service Defined as the occupation or function of serving, contributing to the welfare of others, or a helpful act. Simply stated, we put others above ourselves. Service means we make intentional decisions and take intentional actions to benefit others.
Honor Honor guides us to exemplify the ultimate in ethical and moral behavior. We will never lie, cheat or steal; we will abide by an uncompromising code of integrity, respect human dignity, and respect others.
