GOAL STATEMENT

To be successful in our endeavor to keep Blackfoot a safe and secure place to live and prosper, the Blackfoot Police Department must depart from a traditional incident driven approach to policing and implement a results oriented system approach to the many problems that allow crime and disorder to exist and to grow. To this end, we have adopted a new philosophy of policing known as Community Policing.

Community Policing is a partnership of law enforcement with the public…sharing the responsibility for protecting and improving the quality of community life through teamwork, creativity and community resources, thus reducing crime.

Our overall goal is to create a cooperative relationship between the police and the residents, to identify problems that impact the quality of life, to devise strategies to address those problems, and to work together to solve them.
