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.
