The mission of the White Settlement Police Department is to protect and serve the community’s quest for a peaceful and safe existence, free from fear, and with democratic values applied equally to all citizens.

Core Values:

Values are the most fundamental beliefs, by which the organization operates, and they serve as a basic foundation on which leadership and management are provided and decisions are made.

In formulating its organizational culture the White Settlement Police Department defines a value as that which is important and fundamental to life and to the organization.  The values established by this police department are non-negotiable, are teachable, and are constantly held before the employees and the community.  The core values of this police department are:

Human life: believing that every life is precious.

The principles embodied in our Constitution and the authority of federal, state, and local laws: believing that democratic values apply to all.

The person: believing that being valued is a basic individual need.

The strength of personal character: believing that integrity is integrating beliefs with behavior.

The community we serve: believing that a community can develop and maintain a peaceful and tranquil environment in which to live and prosper.

Individual leadership: believing that each employee is a leader in the department and in the community.

Quality of life in the workplace: believing that if employees enjoy working for the Police Department they will provide quality service to each other and to the public.

 We believe that policing should be an interactive, results-oriented process between the police and the community.  The process is information driven and should create partnerships between the police employees, the department, and those we serve; identify problems that impact the quality of life in the community; devise strategies to address those problems; and work collaboratively to solve them by utilizing all resources available.  The goal of the process is the reduction of crime, fear and disorder.
