Vision Statement
The members of the Plainfield Police Department are dedicated to achieving our mission through the services provided by our divisions of Patrol, Community Service, and Administration; as well as our external partnerships.
The Patrol Division provides the primary functions of law enforcement and public service through community partnerships, the prevention of crime, apprehension of violators, reporting of incidents, abatement of public nuisances, promotion of public health and safety, while safeguarding individual rights.
The Support Services Division provides support to all areas of the Police Department and provides specialized assistance to entities both within and outside the Village. These objectives are met with the use of both paid and volunteer personnel, and the development of special operation personnel and event planning.
The Administration Division acts to further the mission of the Department through a cooperative and professional team effort. We accomplish this through various school & community programs, investigation of cases, enforcement of state & local laws, and other technical functions.
We have established relationships with local, county, state, and federal agencies, civic and community organizations, local businesses, and residents. In conjunction with our own training and tools, we strive to utilize these resources to accomplish our goals and objectives.
The directions, objectives, and strategies of our organization are based on the relationships we build, the services we provide, and our goal to enhance quality of life for all people in the Village of Plainfield.
