While we promote a partnership with our businesses and community, we will also work closely and in cooperation with the town’s other departments to ensure local issues are resolved. Our department’s members will achieve outstanding service by exceeding our pillars of service.

I believe speaking with our community about personal and local issues, building authentic relationships, and helping them solve problems is the key to being successful as an agency. I will continue this open communication with our community as well as our department members.

Our department enjoys the support of our community. I will always support our officers and other members when they are professional, follow policy, and treat all people with dignity and respect.
