In 2010, an employee committee was tasked with developing and implementing a mission
statement and set of values that represent who we are as a law enforcement agency, what role
we play in the Garner community, and what values we embrace and use in making day-to-day
decisions. The committee received feedback from all employees and developed the department’s
mission statement.
