Annawan Police Department Mission:
The Annawan Police Department is committed to enhancing the quality of life in our community by working with the citizens to enforce the laws, solve problems, build partnerships, protect property and individual rights. We hold in great regard the trust our community bestows upon us and we take personal responsibility in nurturing and promoting that trust. Our police officers will always strive to set a positive example in the community by maintaining our own ethical values.

The Annawan Police Department and the public expect that all personnel maintain high standards of appearance and conduct. Law enforcement officers enforce laws and regulations circumscribed by local ordinance, state and federal law, and the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Annawan Police Department’s powers to arrest, seize property, and interfere, at times, with the lives of citizens constitute a public trust. The Annawan Police Department regards this trust as vital and is gained by exemplary performance. Performance tied to the department’s commitment to community-oriented policing values as reflected in our mission.
