About Us

The purpose of the Eads Police Department is to uphold the law fairly and firmly, to prevent crime, to pursue and bring to justice those who break the law, to keep the peace, to protect, help and reassure the people of Eads, and to be seen to do all this with integrity, common sense, and sound judgment.

We must be compassionate, courteous and patient, acting without fear or favor, or prejudice to the rights of others. We need to be professional, calm, and restrained in the face of violence and apply only that force which is necessary to accomplish our lawful responsibility.

We must strive to reduce the fears of the public and, so far as we can, to reflect their priorities in the actions we take, and we must respond to well-founded criticism with a willingness to change.
