Police Department Mission Statement

As members of the Statesboro Police Department we are all charged with the responsibility of serving and protecting the citizens and transients within the City.
The Statesboro Police Department vigorously responds to calls for law enforcement services, enforces all State and local laws and ordinances, protects life and property, investigates matters of a criminal nature, preserves the peace, and strives to prevent crime and civil disorder. We are guided by the ordinances enacted by the City of Statesboro , the laws of the state of Georgia , and the Constitution of the United States of America .
We must strive to set a standard of excellence for others to follow, both individually and collectively. In keeping with this goal, we have adopted the following concise mission statement that reflects the fundamental principles of our department. We feel this should be the cornerstone of each and every member of our department's policing philosophy:

“We will strive to set a standard of excellence for others to follow, both individually and collectively. We are committed to partner with the citizens of our community to create a better quality of life by safeguarding the lives and property of people and to reduce the incidence of fear of crimes.”

It is the intent of our administration to provide each and every one of our employees as much guidance and direction as humanly possible in order to meet this standard of excellence.
