Primary Goals of the Uniformed Division

It is always the goal of the Cranston Police Department Uniform Division to continue

to perform professionally and provide the citizens of the City of Cranston with the

highest quality public service possible. We will continuously strive to perform law

enforcement duties through preventive patrol and active enforcement of criminal and

traffic laws within the City of Cranston.

The uniformed division will promote

conduct sensitive to the community's

needs while utilizing investigative

resources to identify, arrest, and

convict individuals who choose to

commit crimes.

Directed Enforcement

• With the restructuring of divisions within the agency in 2022, the

Uniform Division can now work with the Community Outreach and the

Traffic Divisions to alleviate citizens’ concerns regarding criminal activity

and traffic safety issues.

• A collaborative effort between these divisions is likely to reduce crime,

accidents, and problem areas within the city. Additionally, it will help

establish and maintain a great working relationship with the members of

our community.

• By mapping out these areas of concern and identifying the types of

enforcement necessary, the Cranston Police Department will be able to

serve the community more efficiently and collaboratively.
