Many people refer to community-oriented policing as a
strategy or tactic. We believe community policing is much more than that, it is a total
philosophy. Two essential elements to the philosophy include quality, personalized service
and a customer service orientation. The following pages will provide you with greater
insight into the philosophical values that serve as the foundation on which our employees
deliver services to the people who live, learn, work and play in Madison.
We are committed to adopting a problem solving model of
policing in which we address the root causes of problems rather than implementing only a
quick fix. Members of the Department are encouraged to try new and otherwise non-
traditional policing methods in working with the community and other government agencies.
