Conclusion



While our mission of protecting people and crime prevention remains the same,
like all organizations, we are facing many new challenges in accomplishing that
mission. To ensure the Lemoore Police Department adapts to these new realities,
we will engage in regular strategic planning to continuously assess the external
environment for emerging challenges and enhance our capacity to respond
effectively to these challenges.
We believe in fostering open lines of communication with our citizen partners, and
in being accountable to the public we serve. We believe it’s important to be
transparent and accountable for our level of customer service.
The people we serve continue to be the key to our success as an organization.
Whether it’s by being vigilant and reporting violators, partnering with us in
educational endeavors, working together to solve problems or supporting us
through your willingness to volunteer, together we can ensure Lemoore continues
to be one of the safest places in the Central Valley to raise our families.
