Mission, Values, and Staffing 
Mission of the Tolleson Police Department 
The Mission of the Tolleson Police Department is to 
build strong community relationships and take the 
criminal element off the streets of Tolleson.  These

or the other.

commitment to these values:  
Be Nice 
Dedicated to Service 
Committed to Teamwork 
Pride in Everything We Do 
Uncompromising Integrity 
 
 
Fair & Equitable Practices 
The Tolleson Police Department is committed to treating everyone fairly and 
equitably. Continuing these practices, along with the community policing model, 
will continue to enhance our trust and partnership with the Tolleson community.
