It is the mission of the Rochester Police
Department to serve all people within our jurisdiction with respect,
fairness and compassion.
We are committed
to the protection of life and property; the preservation of peace,
order and safety; the vigorous enforcement of local, state and federal
laws in a fair and impartial manner; and the defense of the
Constitution of the State of Illinois and of the United States of
America.
The Chief of Police is expected to provide a
vision for the department and to sell that vision. Supervisors are
expected to grow their people, to model behavior for their officers to
emulate. We are expected to create a culture of Honor by our
actions, to foster, and demand this of our people.
The Rochester Police Department seeks to improve
the quality of life for employee and residents alike. We will embrace
new ideas and concepts in law enforcement to continually enhance
training, technology, and operational efficiency.
