Department
Mission Statement
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.
