Mission

It is the mission of the Vine Grove Police Department to safeguard the lives and property of the people we serve, to reduce the incidence and fear of crime and to enhance public safety while working with the community to improve their quality of life. Our mandate is to do so with honor and integrity, while at all times conducting ourselves with the highest ethical standards to maintain public confidence.

Code of Ethics

As Peace 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 men to liberty, equality and justice.

We will keep our private lives unsullied as an example to all; maintain courageously 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 personal and official life. We will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and the regulations of our department. Whatever we see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided in us in our official capacity will be kept secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance of our duty.

We will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities or friendships to influence our decisions. With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals, we will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities.

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 the police service. We will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession – law enforcement.
