Police Department

Mission

The department's primary mission is to build a safe community by providing trained professionals to promote crime prevention, and to effectively conduct proactive law enforcement through community involvement. Officers are committed to the philosophical elements of Community Policing. Through our response to community concerns and the development of positive relationships throughout the community, we strive to impact the quality of life issues that make the City of Prospect a great community in which to live, visit, and work. Officers patrol the entire city and their response time to any call for assistance is usually never more than 2-3 minutes.

Crime Prevention

Crime Prevention is EVERYONE'S responsibility. As part of the community, the police department plays an important role in keeping the community safe. However, the police can't be everywhere, all the time. The success of our crime prevention/community service programs depends on you, for only with your active participation can these programs be effective.
