The values of the TFPD are the foundation of the organization, representing the principles from which every policy and procedure is derived and permeating every facet of the department’s operation. The ability to articulate these values, as well as each member’s personal commitment to them, contributes to the overall success of the organization as well as individual employees.

Community

Police departments play a vital role through law enforcement, to maintain the dignity of democracy. They have additional rights in democratic societies to make the region a safe and secure place. The citizens give them authority to control, detain and use legal forces according to situations. To maintain the trust between the police department and citizens, police officers have to maintain high moral and ethical values

The Twin Falls Police Department promotes community-based crime prevention programs, include those that operate within the community and involve community residents actively working with the police department to address issues contributing to crime, delinquency and disorder. Community members are encouraged to play key roles in problem identification and planning solutions to problems in their communities.
