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.
