The mission of the Ogunquit Police Department is to protect and serve the residents and  visitors of our community and to ensure that Ogunquit is recognized as a safe tourist destination through the fair and impartial enforcement of the laws of this state and applicable ordinances of the town.  We will strive to enhance the quality of life in our town; working cooperatively and in partnership with the public. 

DEPARTMENT VALUES

 As the Ogunquit Police Department operates in the 21^st century,  policing and public expectations have become extremely complex.  Our colleagues of fifty years ago could not even imagine the challenges we face today.

 The great variety of responsibilities placed on the shoulders of the police department makes it difficult, even with computers, advanced communications and new technology, to provide answers to every question we encounter.  Our solution is to employ exceptional people – people who will use reason, creativity, good judgment and native common sense to solve the problems they face.

 We are accountable to our residents, our visitors and to each other for meeting our professional responsibilities.  We recognize that people working as individuals can never accomplish what is possible through a collective effort of people working together.  To produce a powerful team effort, we must coordinate our decisions and actions.  Strong core values lay the foundation for that coordination.

 The members of the Ogunquit Police Department are responsible for demonstrating and adhering to those core values; the leaders of the Department, whatever rank, are responsible for explaining and demonstrating how those values look when put into action.

Each officer is responsible for applying the core values to their daily work.
