The mission of the Moline Police Department is to provide the possible police service to the citizens thereby making Moline a safer and more livable city. This level of service will be provided through our commitment to the Community Policing philosophy which encourages a partnership that identifies community safety issues, determines resources, and applies innovative strategies designed to create and sustain healthy, vital neighborhoods. We recognize and respect the value and integrity of each person in the community, and are vested with the lawful authority to use only the force necessary to protect the public welfare.
