Values
- Integrity - We do what's right, even when it's hard. We are honest, ethical, accountable, and fair, committed to guarding the rights and security of others.
- Community - This is our city and we are invested in making it safer and stronger for everyone: for our family, friends, and neighbours, for businesses, and for our most vulnerable communities. We are collaborative in nature and will build the relationships and community partnerships that lead to effective solutions.
- Service (Responsiveness) - If you call, we will respond. If you speak, we will listen. If our city has a public safety concern, we are committed to creating a solution. We are nimble and able to pivot quickly to respond to emerging issues. You can rely on us.
- Respect - We show respect for others, in and outside our organization, understanding that everyone's lived experience is different, and that everyone deserves to be treated fairly under the rule of law. We treat others the way we wanted to be treated and make room for difference.
- Accountability - We "own" our mistakes, face them and are accountable to our community for our actions and our results.
- Innovation - We are a results-oriented, progressive organization, open to new ideas and solutions. To truly be responsive, we must be ready to think differently.
