This mission is to not only arrest violators, but to use our best discretion in order to improve the quality of life for all. All officers of the Montpelier Police Department shall be mindful and hold near to their heart what it means to have Honor, Courage, Dignity, Loyalty, Respect, and Integrity. These words represent our values. We shall take this mission on not because we have to, but because we believe we serve a higher purpose.
