As members of the Auburn
Police Department we are all charged
with the responsibility of serving and
protecting the citizens and visitors within the
City of Auburn.
The Auburn Police
Department vigorously responds to calls
for law enforcement services, enforces all State
and local laws and ordinances, protects life and
property, investigates matters of a criminal
nature, preserves the peace, and strives to
prevent crime and disorder. We are guided
by the ordinances enacted by the City of
Auburn Government, the laws of the State
of Georgia, and the Constitution of the United
States of America.
We must strive to set a
standard of excellence for others to follow,
both individually and collectively. In
keeping with this goal, we have adopted the
following concise mission statement that
reflects the fundamental principles of our
agency. We feel this should be the
cornerstone of each and every member of our
agency's policing philosophy:
First and foremost, the
Auburn Police Department will continue its
commitment to provide quality protection and
service to the City of Auburn citizens and
visitors.
We will promote the
philosophy and practice of community
policing through selected crime prevention
programs and police-community partnership
efforts.
We will focus on solving
problems as opposed to reporting incidents.
We will continue to
diligently investigate and prosecute those
who commit crimes against persons or
property, while ensuring the protection of
everyone's civil rights.
We will develop and maintain
a progressive police culture within the
Department that adapts to and addresses the
growing concerns of society.
We will meet the challenges
that changing times place on law
enforcement, as we have in the past, with
dedication and commitment to doing the job
right on behalf of our citizens and our
recognized duty to justice.
