The fundamental mission of the Covington
Police Department is to protect life and property, enforce the law in a
fair and impartial manner, preserve the peace, order, and safety of the
community we serve, safeguard the constitutional guarantees, and provide
other police related services as required by the community in a manner
consistent with the values of a free society.
In order to fulfill its
mission, the Covington Police Department will strive to
identify, pursue, and apprehend offenders, maintain a
proactive patrol attitude in order to reduce the
opportunity to commit crime, interact with the citizens
to resolve problems and improve the quality of community
life, regulate non-criminal conduct, maintain order,
provide miscellaneous police services on a 24 hour
basis, and to insure the safe and expeditious movement
of vehicular traffic on public roadways. Although a
society free from crime and disorder remains an
unachievable task, it is the responsibility of the
Covington Police Department to approach that idea as
closely as possible by having its members develop a
reputation for fairness, civility, and integrity that
wins the respect of all citizens.

In order to respond in a
professional manner to the challenges set forth in our
mission, the Covington Police Department will create and
maintain a quality work and managerial environment that
focuses on agency goals and provides for career
development for its personnel through training,
advancement, and reward for exemplary performance.
