STATEMENT OF OUR MISSION
The purpose of the Park Ridge Police Department is to uphold the law fairly and firmly; to prevent crime; to pursue and bring justice to those who break the law; to keep the peace; to protect, help, and reassure the people in Park Ridge, and to do all this with integrity, common sense, and sound judgment.
We must be compassionate, courteous and patient, acting without fear, favoritism, or prejudice to the rights of others. We need to be professional, calm, and restrained in the face of violence and apply only that force which is necessary to accomplish our lawful duty.
As Police Officers, we must stand shoulder to shoulder to complete these tasks which we are sworn to uphold. We must work with each other towards the common goal of unity and brotherhood and strive to help one another achieve the highest standards of being a police officer in Park Ridge.
