Mission Statement

 

Commending Superior Performance

 

The mission of the Fairfield Police Department is to foster and work in a true partnership with the community of Fairfield, and to thereby raise the expected level of public safety for residents and visitors alike. This mission will be encouraged and sustained by each officer of the Fairfield Police Department.

  The best way to commend the actions of a Fairfield Police Department employee is to write a brief letter describing the incident and the actions you thought were exceptional. Information such as the date, time and location will help to identify the employee if you don't know his or her name. If you choose not to write, you may ask to speak with the employee's supervisor and make a verbal commendation. Although our employees don't expect to be thanked for everything they do, recognition of exceptional service is always appreciated. This kind of feedback helps us know if we are doing a good job.

Neighborhood Petition Form

The Town of Fairfield takes its role in traffic safety very seriously. We appreciate the many complaints, requests, and suggestions we receive from various sources; because it helps our staff develop a safer transportation system. Due to limited resources, we cannot always respond quickly to your concerns or ideas. This does not mean that we do not value your input or appreciate your concerns. Many traffic and parking situations take considerable time to study and evaluate possible solutions. Quick solutions are often less effective in the long run. More appropriate solutions may cost the taxpayers more money, but we must prioritize the spending of our budget across the entire town. A potential problem in one part of town must be weighed against current needs in other areas.

In consideration of the above, we developed this Neighborhood Petition Form (NPF) for your use. Through this form, neighbors are encouraged to identify and discuss issues affecting them. Our goal is to have neighbors reach consensus on the problem and formulate a possible solution. Once a consensus is reached, it is required that the NPF be completed and forwarded to the Fairfield Police Department- Special Services Division.

As a resident of Fairfield who has identified a potential traffic safety issue, it is important that you involve your neighborhood in the possible solution. Our intent is to focus on the most important parking and traffic conditions in town, as neighborhood consensus is reached. This practice will ensure our best use of staff time and available resources.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Special Needs Notification Form  

Public Programs

In an effort to provide pertinent response information to the Town of Fairfield Emergency Services personnel responding to residences during an incident the attached form was developed. It is helpful to have any information on those persons - specifically children - with special needs that will help us prepare while responding, and may help to calm a situation or determine additional resources that might be required. This voluntary program allows us to input the information you provide into our 911 system and will be available for responders while on their way to your home. Should you choose to take advantage of this response ability, you should be aware of the following:

  • The program is completely voluntary, and you choose the information you wish to provide.

  • Information may be broadcast over radio channels which may be heard by the general public.
