This vision is achieved by our Guiding Principles that include Community Policing, Problem Solving and Intelligence -led Policing, Safety and Service, Technology and Innovation, Leadership and Culture. All of these Guiding Principles help me foster a relationship with this community that promotes transparency, accountability, honesty and a culturally competent department that is reflective of this community.
This is an exciting time to reside in the City of Reno.
