MOUNTAIN VIEW POLICE DEPARTMENT

OUR MISSION

The Mountain View Police Department promotes a decentralized community policing which creates partnerships between law enforcement and other organizations like government agencies, community members, nonprofit service providers, private businesses and the media.   This emphasizes that police officers work closely with local citizens and community agencies in designing and implementing a variety of crime prevention strategies and problem-solving measures.  It is understood the media represents a powerful pattern by which the police can communicate with the community.  Police alone, cannot solve every public safety problem, so interactive partnerships must be created.  The Mountain View Police Department strives to change the role of law enforcement from a static, reactive, incident-driven bureaucracy to a more dynamic, open, quality-oriented partnership.
