Members of the Bastrop Police Department realize our authority
is given to us by the citizens who have relinquished to
us the power to make arrests. We further realize that we
are the only profession that can take an individual's right
of freedom away.
The mission of the Bastrop Police Department is to uphold
individual liberty, freedom and the protection of property
to
all citizens through enforcing city ordinances, state law
and
federal statutes.
Members of the Bastrop Police Department accept the challenges
that confront them daily and will strive to project a positive,
professional and neutral image while carrying out their
duties.
Further, the mission of the Bastrop Police Department will
be
to provide the citizens with responsive, community oriented
policing using the highest manner of personal integrity.
