From me to you... Peaceful Our Peace Officers will not seek or initiate conflict, but when we must interrupt unlawful behavior, the community expects that we will act with compassion, flexibility and reasonableness, treating everyone fairly and consistently. We work toward nonviolent conflict resolution in every way we can because public safety is our priority. We acknowledge that our department is part of a larger criminal justice system that is often heavy on “law and order.” |
(Police Chief Brian Carlson)
