The Durham Police Department is committed to reducing crime in all sectors of our community -- not just violent crime, but crime in general. We work in close partnership with the community, city government leaders, and other law enforcement agencies to attain this goal. We are also committed to improving in the quality of life in Durham by working with other city agencies and community members to target such problems as abandoned vehicles, graffiti, and litter-filled vacant lots. Our Police Department focuses on providing exceptional customer service. We know that building and maintaining the community's trust is the key element in abating crime in our city. No amount of technology can replace the value of citizens sharing information with their local law enforcement
