BACKGROUND

The Colonial Regional Police Department was established on October 1, 1995. The Department was formed when the municipalities realized the need to join together for more effective and efficient police services while still trying to maintain a cost that was equitable to the taxpayers.  The name Colonial was chosen as representative of the colonial heritage shared by all three municipalities.

OUR MISSION

"The maintenance of social order within the community within carefully prescribed ethical and constitutional restrictions".

Our mission involves prevention of criminality; the repression of crime; the apprehension of offenders; the recovery of property; the regulation of non-criminal conduct; and the performance of miscellaneous services.

The Colonial Regional Police Department exists to serve a variety of municipalities by protecting citizens’ life and property, by preventing crime; enforcing laws; and by maintaining order for all citizens.

ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES

Our values are the characteristics of the qualities of work.

THEY ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE!

Although we may need to balance them, we will never ignore them for the sake of expediency or personal preference. We hold our values constantly before us to teach and remind us, elected officials and municipal staffs, in order to provide the quality of service our values commit us to.

We, the men and women of the Colonial Regional Police Department, value:

HUMAN LIFE
