Police Department

Our Mission

The Ferguson Township Police Department is here to enhance the quality of life throughout the Township by working cooperatively to preserve the peace, enforce the law, reduce the fear and incidence of crime, and provide a safe environment for its residents and visitors to the community.

Values Statement

How we work to achieve our mission and our success depends upon our values. Values are statements of the standards and beliefs that are the most important to the employees of the department and our community in achieving our mission.

Shared Responsibility: We believe that police employees and the community share in the responsibility for crime control and public safety, and that the role of the police is defined by the community.

Honest and Ethical: We subscribe to the principle that services will be delivered in a manner which preserves and upholds the ethics and values of the profession and community.

Professional: We are committed to maintaining the highest level of quality service, integrity and professionalism and our achievements are measured by the quality of our work.

Effective: We accept the responsibility to react to criminal activity in ways that emphasize prevention and which is marked by competent and vigorous law enforcement service.

Cooperation: We recognize and support the principle that the public has a right to be a partner and be informed about police services. We believe in working collaboratively with people to understand their concerns and to jointly develop solutions.

Courteous and Unbiased: We are committed to the belief that no person’s claim to dignity and civil rights is any less than another’s claim, and all are entitled to equal treatment.

Competent, Respectful: We recognize our members to be the most important asset of the department, and that only through mutual respect, controlled egos, cooperation and teamwork can the quality of life in the community be best served.

Perceptions Matter: When people see the police as fair, lawful and respectful, officers are safer and citizens are more likely to obey the law and comply with police orders. For example, how an officer treats a stopped motorist influences the motorist’s opinion more than whether the officer issues a citation.
