Mission Oriented Policing
Mission Oriented Policing requires every activity be directed toward the fulfillment of our mission: To create a safer, more peaceful, and crime free environment for the people.
Mission Oriented Policing is the Pima County Sheriff’s Department’s community oriented policing policy. In a partnership with the public, Beat deputies identify problems within the community, and then with citizens, develop solutions to resolve those problems.
Intelligence is gathered from every possible source, analyzed and used to identify preventable criminal and public safety problems and guide resources toward practical solutions. Community involvement is an essential component in the successful implementation of this program. Although the Mission Oriented Policing philosophy appears to be simple, developing and maintaining the partnerships required is a time-consuming and complex task. The end result, solving the problem, is well worth the effort.
Mission Oriented Policing may be the most effective way to make a substantial and lasting impact on the crime and public safety issues in Pima County.
