To Serve and Protect
The department, in partnership with the community, will endeavor to create a safer community by achieving our mission and being a leader in providing quality police service.
The employees and members of the Beckley Police Department are dedicated to creating and preserving an environment that offers a sense of security, safety and well-being to all people within the community served. This commitment requires that the department operate as a part of the community, and in partnership with its citizens, community organizations and businesses, and all other governmental agencies to define goals and develop strategies necessary to achieve those goals. In support of this mission, the members of the department are obligated to perform those duties required to prevent crime, protect lives and property and preserve peace and order through diligent and impartial enforcement of laws and ordinances, while simultaneously preserving the constitutionally guaranteed rights of all.
We ensure public safety by delivering excellent police service. We proudly work with all members of our community, and hold ourselves accountable to improved effectiveness in everything we do. We proactively address future changes, while upholding our values. While learning from each other, we will achieve excellence through pride, respect, understanding and ethical behavior.
