Mission and Values
The Puyallup Police Department developed its Mission, Vision and Values in a cooperative effort bringing together officers, support staff and members of command staff. A committee developed several draft concepts for a department mission, vision and value statement. These ideas were submitted to the Chief who brought the ideas together into the final product which we have today.
Our mission is to work in partnership with the community to support a safe environment, to maintain the peace and to seek justice through service, ethics, respect, values, integrity, compassion and excellence.
