We of the Anne Arundel County Police Department recognize our contribution to the quality of life and safe environment in our community through the provision of professional law enforcement services.

We will meet the challenge of providing these services by basing our thoughts and actions on a recognized set of values that operate within the organization.

We see these values as a set of shared common beliefs that contribute to the success of the Department. This structure of beliefs and shared values provide a common cause for all members of the Department.

From these values we derive our policies and procedures; therefore, faithful adherence to these beliefs by all personnel is paramount.
