Public Safety Department Mission Statement

The mission of the Misenheimer Police Department is to assure that all persons may participate in the life of the community in a safe and peaceful manner and receive support, aid and protection in a time of need. Accordingly, our goals are to educate the Village community through crime prevention programs, to protect life and property, assure safe and orderly movement about the Village, deter criminal activity, and serve the continually changing needs of the community to the best of our abilities.

The Department's public safety role insures that members of the community enjoy a high degree of protection from personal harm and a high degree of security for their property. This protection is manifested in round-the-clock patrol of the Village of Misenheimer and University campus, crime prevention and personal safety awareness programs, and constant attention to the correction of potentially hazardous conditions.

With regard to campus safety specifically, one of the Department's important responsibilities rests with the campus physical facilities and the property within them. Security checks of facilities, interior and exterior, are maintained in order to achieve the maximum protection necessary for each building. The operating condition of all locks and security hardware is monitored with every check; defects are reported promptly.

Another important part of the Department's overall purpose is service to the community. Not only does this include emergency assistance, but general services which may be required by Village residents, academic or administrative departments.

In fulfilling its public safety responsibilities the Department strives to insure that the peace and order of the Village and University community is maintained at all times.
