The Yellow Springs Police Department is committed to continuous improvement, transparency, and accountability. Each year, the department establishes goals designed to strengthen community relationships, improve operations, and ensure our services reflect the needs and values of the Village.
These goals are developed through collaboration among department members and are informed by community feedback, operational needs, and best practices in modern policing.
Our 2026 goals are organized around three key focus areas that reflect the department’s commitment to continuous improvement:
• Internal Collaboration• Community Feedback
• Proactive Growth
These focus areas are supported by strategic pillars that guide the department’s priorities and initiatives. Click below to learn more about each pillar, including the goals, actions, and purpose behind each area of focus.
