We Are the RPD - Respect, Professional, Dedicated

 

Embracing a philosophy of Policing in the Spirit of Service represents the Rochester Police Department’Spirit-of-Service-logos (RPD's) commitment to consistently providing excellent police services to the entire Rochester community. This commitment requires each employee to strive for excellence while demonstrating courtesy, professionalism and high ethical standards. Every interaction with the community not only is a reflection on each individual employee, but has an impact on the overall reputation of the Rochester Police Department as a whole.  

By supporting this philosophy and positively engaging with our community partners, particularly our younger population, WE in the RPD, who proudly serve the City of Rochester, hope to establish and maintain strong relationships, both now and in the future.
