We Value:

Professionalism:
We recognize that our success is dependent on the trust and confidence of the citizens of the community, which we service. Therefore, we shall always engage in behavior that is beyond reproach and reflects the integrity of police professionals.

Law enforcement and public safety are of community wide concern. Thus, we must actively seek citizen involvement in all aspects of policing. We shall strive to cultivate effective working relationships with other governmental, public and private service agencies in pursuit of mutual goals.

Commitment:
We must have a vision for the future of our community and our agency and make a firm commitment to foster goals, which will enable us to attain that end.

Compassion:
The role of the police is to resolve conflict through impartial enforcement of the law, not through imposition of judgement or punishment. All persons shall be treated equitably and with compassion.

Pride:
We pride ourselves on being capable and caring people who provide a valued service to the citizens of Onalaska, and we shall promote pride in our community, agency and profession.
