From The Chief |
The Canby Police Department
is proud to provide modern, quality law enforcement services to the citizens
of Canby and its visitors. We are committed to providing a safe and orderly
environment in Canby through professionalism, dedication, and active partnerships
with the community, and concern for individual dignity.
The men and women of the department understand that our greatest resource
and asset is the support and assistance given by the community we serve.
Naturally, this relationship, or "partnership" as we think of it, with
the citizens of Canby is something we must constantly strive to protect.
This is a responsibility shared by every member of the department and it
is the primary task of the citizen commendation & complaint process.
Input from the people we serve is very important and aids the Department
in our continuing evaluation of the services we provide. Your comments,
both those which may be critical and those which are complimentary, are
very useful in ensuring that we perform our mission as efficiently, effectively
and professionally as possible.
Canby Police is sincerely interested in both rewarding above average performance
and in taking corrective action in those instances where an employee' performance
fails to meet acceptable standards.

Accreditation
Canby Police was recognized by the State of Oregon as a fully accredited
police agency on June 11, 2004. As an accredited agency, Canby
Police truly emulate the mission statement of the Department. In
addition, an accredited police agency provides numerous other benefits.
Examples of this include: |
|
|
Controlled Liability Insurance
Costs
Accredited status makes it easier for agencies to purchase
police liability insurance; allows agencies to increase
the limit of their insurance coverage more easily; and,
in many cases, results in lower premiums.
Stronger
Defense Against Lawsuits and Citizen Complaints
Accredited agencies are better able
to defend themselves against lawsuits and citizen
complaints. Many agencies report a decline
in legal actions against them, once they become
accredited.
Greater Accountability Within the Agency
Accreditation standards give the Chief Executive Officer a proven
management system of written directives, sound training, clearly defined
lines of authority, and routine reports that support decision-making
and resource allocation.
Staunch Support from Government Officials
Accreditation provides objective evidence of an agency's
commitment to excellence in leadership, resource management,
and service-delivery. Thus, government officials are more confident
in the agency's ability to operate efficiently and meet community
needs.
Increased Community Advocacy
Accreditation embodies the precepts of community-oriented policing.
It creates a forum in which police and citizens work together to prevent
and control challenges confronting law enforcement and provides clear
direction about community expectations.
