The public safety element of the Comprehensive Plan is a way to help link Police Services to the community.  We want to hear from you about what your vision is for the Police during the next 20 years. 

About the Olympia Police

The Olympia Police Department believes that protection of lives and property, maintenance of public order and the fostering of a feeling of safety are the mutual responsibility of the Department and the community.  The Department also believes that proper police authority is derived from the community, within the context of codified law, not imposed on it.  This philosophical approach to policing is popularly known as "community policing."
