Body Worn Camera Statement. Our mission for the North Arlington Police Department is to protect and serve all the people in an efficient and professional manner and to enhance the quality of life while instilling a sense of security within our community. Our mission is our legitimate basis for existence and the basis of our professional ethics, goals, objectives, rules, regulations, operating policies, procedures, and practices. The mission is functionally defined by the power established by legislated authority and the demands for service from our public.
It is the direct and ultimate responsibility of the administrative head to interpret public demands and, within budgeted resources, provide the best possible delivery or services. The nature of public safety and security forces services are varied.
Examples include but are not limited to: equal, equitable, and fair enforcement of laws; responding to calls for non-enforcement services; active patrol; security and protection of prisoners; public-relations contacts; and the personal demeanor, conduct and image of our personnel, on-duty as well as off-duty. These services, and the perception we create while engaging in these services are functionally defined, made real and ultimately judged by the nature of activities we engage in as well as how we appear while engaged in such activities.
In summary, our mission is to deliver a service as well as a perception of service, i. Our mission is a contract with our citizens as well as an affirmation of their trust. A contract that each employee is charged with the responsibility to protect and promote. Due to the cost and time involved in answering all of these requests and obvious homeland security concerns, the North Arlington Police Department regrets to inform you that we will not honor any requests for the departmental shoulder patches.
We also ask that you refrain from sending any e-mail requesting patches, as it will delay our answering other e-mail inquiries in a prompt manner. Any e-mail received on this subject will not be replied to. Chief of Police thanks you for your cooperation in this matter.
