Our working philosophy is based upon the principals of community policing. This simply means involving ourselves in the community in which we serve. By doing this, we are giving the community an opportunity to be directly connected with the department. Also, MPD takes great pride in being able to give back to the community. Many officers are involved in various community services such as; youth & senior programs, HOST mentoring, in-service trainings, RAD trainings, church programs, Crime Stoppers and Neighborhood Watch.
