About the Laconia Police Department


 

 

ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT

The Laconia Police Department is a progressive, community-oriented agency with over 50 employees. Many people refer to community-oriented policing as a strategy or tactic. We believe community policing is much more than that - it's a total philosophy. We are committed to adopting a problem-solving model of policing in which we address the root cause of problems rather than implementing only a quick fix. Members of the Department are encouraged to try new and otherwise non-traditional policing methods in working with the community and other government agencies. The Laconia Police Department is staffed by an exceptional group of hard working men and women.
 

OUR MISSION

It is the mission of this department to enhance the quality of life for residents, business people, and visitors to the City of Laconia. Our function is to prevent crime, to protect people and property, and to enforce state statutes and local ordinances. This shall be done with common sense, fairness and respect for constitutional rights for all people. In meeting our mission, we will build positive relationships; encouraging citizen involvement in the identification and solution of problems within the community and adhere to the following core values: integrity, respect, service, teamwork.

 

AGENCY VALUES

Integrity: We will earn the respect and trust of the public we serve by holding ourselves to the highest standards of moral and ethical conduct.

Respect: We will treat all residents, business people and visitors with respect and dignity, regardless of the context in which we interact with them. In return, we expect that the public will demonstrate respect for all Laconia Police Employees.
