Welcome to the Point Russell Police Department.
We're here to serve our community! We work toward our goal of a safer City through professional, progressive, and responsive police services. We couldn't do this without your support. That's why we partner with community organizations and focus on specific neighborhood problems.
Our mission is to protect and served and we do it with integrity. Our officers are:
-
Progressive: We will never become complacent in the way we deliver service. We will aggressively pursue emerging technology and innovative ideas.
-
Professional: We will conduct ourselves in a manner that reflects well on our department, our community, and our profession. We will treat all citizens with dignity and respect.
-
Responsive: We will listen to the community's wants and needs and not restrict our thinking to traditional paradigms. The concerns of our community will help to shape the priorities of our agency.
