Mission Statement

The principal mission of the Bratenahl Police Department is to preserve the rights of citizens and reduce fear in the community through the prevention and detection of crime, protection of persons and property, the maintenance of order in public places, and to anticipate and respond to events that threaten public order and the preservation of life and property.

It is essential that all members of the Bratenahl Police Department, in the execution of their duties, remember their duty to act not for themselves, but for the good of the public.  They shall respect and protect the rights of individuals and perform their services with honesty, integrity, courage, and sound judgment.

 Police Officers must seek and preserve public confidence by demonstrating impartial enforcement and offering service and trust to all members of the public.

Our goal is to look forward and see the organization not as it is, but as what it can become.  We can achieve this by continuously setting and meeting objectives and goals.
