A Message From the Chief

The Augusta Police Department is committed to building relationships with our community members while providing the highest level of service to keep our citizens safe. As the Chief of Police, I will continue to provide and share our on-going efforts with the community in order to maintain and build public confidence.

Community policing is at the heart of our organization and is emphasized at every level. Our community partnerships are established through the daily efforts of our officers and support staff to maintain the confidence of those we serve. Top priorities for members of the Augusta Police Department are to foster relationships through dignity and respect and to work in collaboration solving problems to better our community.

Policing in the 21st century has dramatically changed and the movement towards technology and better police practices has increased throughout the country. The Augusta Police Department is dedicated to reaching the highest standards of professionalism through policies, procedures, training and technology.  I am dedicated to seeking out the very best our profession has to offer. The citizens of Augusta deserve the finest officer we can deploy through recruitment, education, and training. I am very proud of our hiring efforts and I am committed to maintaining our sworn and non-sworn ranks who keep our community safe.

Lastly, I am excited about the future of the City of Augusta and its police department.  The women and men of the Augusta Police Department are dedicated to our unwavering promise to keep our community safe while maintaining the trust of our citizens.
