Our
Mission
The
mission of the Choctaw Police Department is to improve the quality
of life of citizens, living, working, or visiting our city.
We
believe as Law Enforcement officers, our fundamental duty is to
serve mankind: to safeguard lives and property; to protect the
innocent against deception, the weak
against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence
or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional Rights of all persons
to liberty, equality, and justice. We believe that it is our responsibility
to protect the constitutional rights of all persons and that we
are accountable to the community.
We believe that crime is not only a police problem but a social problem impacting
all aspects of the community and we are committed to working with the community
to address these issues.
We
will keep our private life unsullied as an example to all; maintain
courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule; develop
self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others.
Honest in thought and deed in both our personal and official life.
We will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and the regulations
of our department.
We
recognize the badge of our office as a symbol of public faith,
and we accept it as a public trust to be held so long as we are
true to the ethics of law enforcement. We will constantly strive
to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating ourselves before
God to our chosen profession....law enforcement.
We're
sorry, but we do not distribute our patches.
We are a small department working under a tight municipal budget.
Patches are expensive and we could not possibly afford to send
a patch to everyone who requests one.
We receive many requests from all over the
world for our patches and we do want to thank
you for your interest.
