We use various policing strategies, which place emphasis on enforcement of the law, apprehension of law-breakers, crime prevention and problem solving to address issues of crime and disorder in the community.

The Powell Police are committed to the highest standards of ethics, morals, and performance. We set a clear expectation of all employees to adhere to these standards and conduct themselves with individual and collective integrity that is above reproach. We desire to recruit personnel who are also committed to these standards and want to be a part of a police agency that is dedicated to deliver police services with a commitment to excellence.
