WPD Introduces Community Member Survey

The Winchester Police Department is committed to enhancing trust and collaboration between officers and the city we serve. As we continually prioritize these relationships, we are working to uphold the ideals outlined by IACP, developed through their Trust Building Campaign. These guidelines are designed to encourage positive community-police partnerships that promote safe, effective interactions, create strategies to prevent and reduce crime, and improve the wellbeing and quality of life for all.

We will continue to work towards implementing key policies and promising practices within the following six focus areas:

• Bias-free policing
• Use of force
• Leadership and culture
• Recruitment, hiring, and retention
• Victim services
• Community relations

Through upholding these practices, we will continue to build and strengthen our relationships with our communities, increasing trust and fostering more effective policing. As part of this ongoing initiative, we encourage you to fill out the survey linked below.
