Servicing with Pride

EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE
From the recruitment of a diverse work force to the performance of daily operations; new officers are sent to the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Academy. Continual training is conducted in a variety of areas relating to the effective delivery of law enforcement services.

MAXIMIZING PARTNERSHIPS
Teamwork requires the commitment of every officer, city official and the broader community to develop strong partnerships. Empowerment promotes innovation. Officers share techniques and bring unique perspectives to the table expanding their options for creative problem solving.

The city has a community policing philosophy, based on the premise that law enforcement officers and citizens should create partnerships and work together to solve problems related to crime and the fear of crime.

DEDICATION TO SERVICE
Put yourself in the shoes of a police officer. It is a tough job. On a daily basis, officers put themselves between you and those members of our community who choose not to respect you or your property.

Bremerton Police Officers are members of your community. They are residents, homeowners, taxpayers and neighbors. Officers are parents and spouses, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters. They are involved in youth and church activities, sports and hobbies. Officers are part of the community, which they serve. Police officers are in you neighborhood everyday ensuring your safety because they care!
