Mayor Benson proudly states,“Our police department is a community police department, and we’re usually in the top 10 safest cities.”The police department is dedicated to fostering strong, positive relationships within the community through proactive community policing efforts.

Their approach emphasizes collaboration, where officers work closely with community members to address local concerns, prevent crime, and enhance public safety.
