Police

It is an exciting time for the department’s future and I am proud to announce our new Mission and Vision statements. The mission statement provides a point of common ground of why we are here and what we are here to do. The vision statement grounds us as an organization and defines how we are going to achieve our mission. These statements will help guide the continued development of our organizational culture and public safety strategy.

Mission: Dedicated service and protection for all.

Vision: To foster a safe and secure community through collaboration, trust, and exceptional police service.

Our policing philosophy balances a foundation of traditional policing concepts with innovative and balanced strategies. We work to collaborate with community members, city departments and our partners in the law enforcement, mental health, and victim service organizations to address community problems and ensure the safety and well-being of our citizens and visitors. The Wauwatosa Police Department will continually strive to provide excellent customer service, improve public relations and increase public confidence through communication and collaborative efforts.
