Values Statement

OUR MISSION AND OUR CITIZENS DESERVE OUR BEST

To achieve our mission, we must turn our ideas into action, be pioneers in our field, contributors of knowledge, inventors of solutions, and explorers of ideas.

We should be part of the solution rather than part of the problem, and support the organization and its mission through personal commitment, professionalism, good character, pride, honesty, and teamwork.

We expect our service to our citizens to be worthy, vigorous, resourceful, courteous, and reliable.

We strive to turn our mistakes into opportunities, and our limitations into creativity.

We treat those we serve fairly, with compassion, and respect regardless of their race, color, creed, sec, age, lifestyle, national origin, or economic status.

We must demand the best of ourselves and the people that work with us.

OUR ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO WORK

The health and safety of our citizens and department personnel will be top priority.

As an organization, we should prize the creative participation of each person who works here, welcome the open exchange of ideas and foster the practice of careful listening.

We have a duty to encourage the personal well-being and career development of every person, regardless of rank or position.

WORK WITH REGARD FOR ONE ANOTHER

We recognize the individuality of everyone who works here, and we treat one another with respect, kindness and a sense of the importance of teamwork.

We should foster a spirit of excellence throughout the organization, so that we may better serve our citizens.

WE RECOGNIZE THE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES OF OUR ORGANIZATION
