Mission Statement: Community Policing is an integral part of combating crime and improving the quality of life in Amherst by creating an interactive approach to problem solving and problem prevention based upon a partnership between Amherst citizens and the Amherst Police. It is based upon the beliefs that police officers and private citizens working together can help solve community problems related to crime, and quality of life issues. We will use a practical approach, and respect for the dignity of each individual and the diversity of our community, to broaden communication and collaboration between Amherst citizens, neighborhood organizations, the Amherst Police Department, and other organizations, in serving and strengthening our community.
