Message from the Chief  

I hope this message finds you well. As your Chief of Police, it is my duty and privilege to ensure the safety and well-being of our community. Today, I want to address the importance of fair and impartial policing within the City of Keizer.

Our commitment to upholding the principles of justice, equality, and respect for all individuals is unwavering. We recognize our community's diverse and vibrant nature, and we are responsible for serving and protecting every resident with fairness and impartiality.

To achieve this, our police department is dedicated to continuous training emphasizing cultural competence, unbiased decision-making, and de-escalation techniques. We are actively working to build strong relationships with community members, fostering open communication and trust. Your input is invaluable, and we encourage you to share your thoughts and concerns with us.

It is crucial that every member of our community feels safe and secure, knowing that our officers are here to protect and serve without bias or discrimination. We are committed to holding ourselves accountable and addressing any instances that fall short of our standards.

In the spirit of transparency, we will regularly review our practices and policies to ensure they align with the principles of fair and impartial policing. We welcome constructive feedback from the community as we strive to improve and adapt to Keizer's evolving needs.

Together, let us work towards a city where everyone can live, work, and thrive without fear of prejudice. Thank you for your ongoing support and please remember that we are here for you.
