Police Mission Statement

The primary mission of the police force is crime prevention and the protection of life and property. The laws and police procedures related to them are promoted by police agencies for the purpose of maintaining order and continuity. The basis, however, of all police action is the law enforcement profession will be measured by its contribution to the welfare of man, its concern for excellence, and by the guidance it provides to its members toward a high level of ethical practice. The Thomaston Police Department endeavors to plan, develop and institute the most efficient and cost effective police service that contributes to the well-being of the citizens within our jurisdiction. We strive to provide the highest quality law enforcement and public safety services possible, sometimes mixed with a little bit of humor to brighten someone’s day.
