BERGENFIELD PBA LOCAL 309 CIVIC ASSOCIATION INC

Our fundamental mission as a municipal police agency is to serve the public. We strive to partner with the community to solve problems and improve public safety in a manner that is fair, impartial, transparent, and consistent. Stating our mission is simple, but performing it is a complex task that requires us to recognize and define the functions that we perform in our society. We will perform our law enforcement role by protecting life and property, by suppressing criminal activity and disorder with vigilant patrol, and by arresting law breakers through effective response to, and investigation of, reported crimes. We will be proactive in our patrols. We will seek to resolve conflict, and work with all citizens to provide a safe and secure community for everyone. We will protect the innocent, give aid and comfort to the sick and injured, and assist the disadvantaged. Finally, we will recognize that we are the most visible and accessible of all government services, and this gives us a unique responsibility to assist citizens with their problems and to work to maintain the quality of life in our community. We are Bergenfield.
