The enforcement philosophy is one of
problem-solving and community based policing which involved police
officers and citizens to identify, assess and respond to criminal
and community problems.
The combination of well-trained professionals
and an informed, involved community have contributed to the
enhancement of quality of life and a relatively crime-free
environment to live and prosper.
