The Glendale Police Department constitutes an organization whose existence is justified solely on the basis of service to our community. It is the duty and privilege of each employee not only to protect our citizens from the criminal, but also to protect and defend the rights guaranteed under our structure of government. We must extend a strong determination to protect and support individual rights while at all times providing for the security of persons and property in the community. We must enforce the laws of the state of Missouri and the City of Glendale with impartiality, compassion, and professionalism.
