Organizational Philosophy

The organizational philosophy of the Northville Township Police Department is that we are an integral component of the Northville Township Government and that our primary responsibility is to provide superior service to the citizens of our community. In furtherance of this philosophy, our Department reflects an attitude of shared department responsibility with all employees for the effective and efficient operation of our organization. With this in mind, it is incumbent upon each of us to participate in the decision making process in a spirit of teamwork and group effort. Employees are encouraged to make recommendations, which may lead to an improvement either in the delivery of law enforcement and related services or in the use of Department resources. To this end, a work environment, which is pleasant, and one that encourages reasonable risk-taking is desirable. With our rapidly changing society, it is imperative that our organization takes a proactive approach to change and become an agent of change, rather than a passive participant in or a barrier to the change process.

Inherent in the Department's organizational philosophy is that we understand and embrace the value of human diversity in our community and in our organization, as well as in society as a whole. This includes sensitivity to the values and morals of different and varied cultural backgrounds of not only those persons who live in our community, but also of those persons who visit our community. Fundamental to this philosophy is the belief that we will respect the dignity and rights of the individual person and that we will treat all people in a fair and equitable manner without regard to race, nationality, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation and/or economic status. We will not tolerate discrimination in any form by any person against a fellow human being.

The Department has a responsibility to provide all employees with the best possible training, guidance and equipment whereby we can be successful in performing our assigned duties. Management/supervision must be administered fairly and consistently and should encourage autonomy among members of our Department. We, as employees, have an obligation to strive for excellence in our work, thereby setting the best example possible. This organizational philosophy should result in each of us sharing in the success or failure of Department activities.
