From the Chief’s
Desk
The purpose of the
Natchez Police Department is to create and maintain public safety.
Although many variables contribute to the definition of safety in a
community, the Department is committed to the vision of being one of
the safest communities in the state by improving the quality of life
for members or our community through proactive crime-prevention
tactics and aggressive response to criminal activity.
Natchez Police officers take pride in representing an
inclusive department, which represents the community, with high
professional standards of integrity guided by the letter and spirit
of the law, and the law enforcement code of ethics. Officers are
required to be compassionate and responsive to the needs, rights,
and expectations of all citizens, employees, and visitors.
Crime prevention is accomplished through active
participation between the community and the police department with
programs such as Neighborhood Watch, the
Citizens Police Academy, Public Housing Officers, the
D.A.R.E. program, and School Resource Officers.
By working
together we can make Natchez an even better place in which
to live.
