Addison Citizens Assisting Police

Welcome to the Addison Police Department.  We, the staff, appreciate your response to the need for volunteer services in our Department. 

Mission Statement of the Addison Police Department

The Addison Police Department is dedicated to a standard of excellence in promoting and maintaining a safe and peaceful community.  We serve in a community partnership to preserve order, protect life and property, enforce laws and ordinances, and safeguard individual liberties.  We conduct ourselves according to the highest ethical standards, and treat others with fairness, dignity, and respect. We pledge to manage our organization with professionalism, leadership, and integrity.
