City of Durango

We are committed to protecting the constitutional rights of all individuals. We strive to treat each individual with respect, care, and attention. We believe in open communication and partnerships with the community. We recognize that police are not separate from the people and that we derive our authority from the people. We recognize that our personal conduct, both on and off duty, is inseparable from the professional reputation of the Police Department and the City of Durango. We believe that abuse of police authority including excessive force, verbal abuse, criminal behavior, and misconduct is not compatible with the sacred trust vested in us by the community. We are committed to high standards of Department and individual performance.
