The Tallahassee Police Department is driven by our core values - Trust, Loyalty , and Commitment. Our values will be incorporated into policy and training. Trust, Loyalty, and Commitment will be the driving force behind recruitment, selection, hiring, and promotions. These principles will provide the basis for decision-making for all personnel at TPD. They demand a higher level of accountability than law and policy. Our values mandate that our decisions are based on what we should do, not what we can do. Embracing our values will ensure TPD's policing is about the citizens of Tallahassee. Everyone at TPD is here to provide service to our community. All members, sworn and civilian, have a responsibility to treat people with respect, show compassion, and protect the rights of all people.
