Police Department’s Core Values

These five Core Values are the yardstick by which we should hold ourselves accountable.

To be effective, they must be universally understood, communicated, reinforced

and integrated into all our daily activities.

Here is a brief overview:

1.) Ethical Behavior – Maintain and enforce the highest standards

      of integrity and fairness in all our actions.

2.) Continuous Improvement – Embrace Positive change and

      maintain professional development through training.

3.) Respect for People and Diversity – Achieve success through

      mutual respect with the people we deal with, operating in an

      environment based on openness, trust, teamwork, innovation,

      diversity and integrity.

4.) Service Delivered in Partnership with the Community –

      Recognize that the concept of Community Policing and crime

      reduction involves partnerships. These partnerships will result in  

      an enhanced quality of life in our community and a mutual

      respect between Law Enforcement and the public.

5.) Realistic Expectations and Management by Fact –

      The Leadership of the New Hartford Police Department will

      establish and maintain realistic expectations of its employees.

      The leadership will seek accurate information to make sound

      decisions; establish clear, realistic goals, monitor progress and

      promote ongoing feedback.
