Mission Statement
The mission of the Dayton Police Department is to provide a safe secure environment for the citizens of Dayton to live and raise a family. We want the residents to have pride and a sense of ownership in their Town. We believe in a common-sense approach to law enforcement. We believe that laws are created to keep us all safe. We believe officers must use discretion when applying those laws by assessing every situation based on its own particular circumstance.
There are times when arrests are necessary and required. There are also times when an arrest is not the best course of action. We will attempt to gain compliance with local ordinances through education and awareness prior to official action. We will consider all points of view in any situation and strive to take the correct action. We believe that all residents should be afforded equal protection under the law.
