STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

"To optimize public safety in the Municipality of Wawa"
 
The Police Service, in concert with other agencies and citizens, is instrumental in preserving the quality of life in our community by maintaining the Municipality of Wawa as a secure place to live. In doing so, we are dedicated philosophically and operationally to the concept of preventive policing. Our primary focus is on crime prevention, crime detection, apprehension, and traffic safety. Our most effective tools are positive community relations, education and the use of current technology to analyze conditions, project trends and deploy resources.

 
LONG RANGE OBJECTIVES

1. To promote an understanding through the Service that the true measure of effectiveness is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.
2. To secure the cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of laws by encouraging understanding and communicate between the citizens of the Municipality of Wawa and their Police Service.
3. To maximize individual and collective skills within the Service in terms of crime prevention, crime detection and traffic safety.
4. To promote a professional police image by demonstrating impartial service to the law and by offering service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to race, religion or social standing.
5. To use only the minimum force required on any particular occasion and only when persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public observance of the law.
6. To establish a recruiting, training, education and development capacity within the Service that will maximize the potential of all members.
7. To achieve the foregoing within an acceptable cost framework.
