"This department will surpass the
normal expectations of service from a police department.
We will become fully integrated into the community by
promoting our awareness of quality of life as well as
criminal issues that affect our neighborhoods. We will
excel in courtesy in our communications, show an attitude of
caring during direct contact with the public, and strive to
develop a partnership of trust that will be evident during
stressful and controversial incidents in the community".
Chief's Welcome
"The mission of the Battle Creek Police
Department is to promote community leadership within the department while
maintaining a commitment to improving the community's quality of life through
crime control and public safety while serving all people with fairness and
respect."
Serving is the most important part of the
familiar motto "To protect and serve." Serving consists of
leading, educating, directing, role modeling, as well as protecting and a host

profession, which has a responsibility to the public to deliver excellence in
police service. We believe that joint cooperation from the police and the
