GENERAL FUND
Main Functions
Respond to Crime: No call is too small in Sumner, people are encouraged to contact police when something seems “not right”. Whether in-person, on-line, or by phone, if you see something, say something.
Reports & Tracking: The hidden aspect of policing is the technical work to document and track reports and data, helping victims get the follow-up support they need, and meeting state requirements for public records.
Investigate: Train, equip, and empower our officers to conduct through investigations that will lead to just outcomes and accountability. Increase our capacity to process digital evidence in complex cases.
Partnerships: Smaller departments like Sumner rely on regional specialty teams to provide a wide range of needed services that we could not provide alone. That means that Sumner personnel participate on those teams, responding to incidents that may be in neighboring jurisdictions as well as our own.
Community Policing: From speed emphasis patrols to public safety cameras, to school resource officers, our aim is to build positive and trusting relationships with the public to reduce the fear of crime and incidents of crime.
