Performance measures are not just about numbers. They should focus on the success of risk control or harm reduction by spotting emerging problems early and suppress them before they do much harm. Our community expects the following:

Best Protection at a reasonable price.

Vigilant – Spotting emerging threats early, pick up on precursors and warning signs, use imagination to work out what could happen, use intelligence systems to discover what is being planned and do all of this before harm is done.

Nimble and Flexible – to organize quickly and appropriately around emerging crime patterns rather than being locked into traditional routines and processes.

Skillful and Masterful – in our intervention toolkit, experienced in picking the best tools for each task, and adept at inventing new approaches when existing methods turn out to be irrelevant or insufficient.

Vision:Serve – Support – Defend

Mission:The mission of the City of Mountlake Terrace Police Department is to “Serve” the community with professionalism and integrity – “Support” the Constitution, Laws and Core Values as set forth by its citizens and “Defend” the individual rights, human dignity and quality of life for all who live, visit and work within Mountlake Terrace.

To prevent and control conduct widely recognized as threatening to life and property (serious crime). We will provide an example tonight of a successful felony investigation from start to finish.

To aid individuals who are in danger of physical harm, such as the victims of criminal attacks. We maintain a strong Domestic Violence/ Victim Advocate relationship with those affected.

To protect constitutional guarantees such as the right of free speech and assembly. “Active Listening Skills ”during police contacts stressed in training.

To facilitate the safe movement of people and vehicles. Traffic collisions decreased from 2017 totals. (2%) despite increased traffic.

To assist those who cannot care for themselves: the intoxicated, the addicted, the mentally ill, the physically disabled, the old and the young. We continue a very successful Public Outreach Program. More about that …

To resolve conflict, whether between individuals, groups of individuals, or individuals and their government. Ongoing crisis intervention (CIT) training.

To identify problems that have the potential to become more serious for the individual citizen, the police or the government. Regional sharing/approach.

To create and maintain a feeling of security in the community.
