GENERAL OPERATING FUND POLICE PURPOSE AND MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT / DIVISION
    ACCOUNT 001-2100-561
The goal of the Lawrence Police Department is to be the number one police organization  within the confines of existing resources.  To accomplish this goal, the Department has adopted  the following Five Guiding Principles:

1.     We Exist To Serve The Community.
2.     We Believe In The Personal Touch
3.     We Are Fair But Firm.
4.     How We Get The Job Done Is As Important As Getting The Job Done.
5.     We Represent Civility And Order In A Changing World.

Significant Issues for 2003 - The increase in Personal Services for 2003 can be attributed to the 3% general wage adjustment, merit increases for eligible employees, compliance with the Memorandum of Understanding with represented employees, and the addition of a Traffic Unit (7 officers), 4 School Resource Officers (SRO), and an Investigative Unit (5 Detectives).  Equipment costs for the SRO's and traffic unit account for additional Commodity expenses.  Capital Outlay increased due to City's share for traffic unit vehicles.
