The Core Values of the Warren Police Department are: Integrity, Professionalism, Employees, Courage and Respect.

Integrity, the adherence to moral and ethical principles and the consistency of honest and dedicated actions, is our standard. We strive to earn the trust and respect of those whom we serve and work with. We do what is right at all times because it is the right thing to do.

All members of the Department will conduct themselves in a manner that is consistent with professional standards for performance, both on duty and off duty. These standards include adherence to our mission statement and other core values. We perform our roles ethically and with integrity as we represent the Warren Police Department, regardless of the circumstances. We hold each other and ourselves accountable to these standards.

We value all who demonstrate self-motivation, dedication, and pride in their work and performance, along with the strength to adhere to what is right in all instances and actions.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather its mastery. We will remain courageous in our actions. We recognize that there are two types of courage: physical and moral. Physical courage is recognizing danger to oneself or to others, but persisting in our duty regardless. Moral courage is the adherence to principle, integrity, and dedication, no matter how easy it may be to do otherwise. It is putting character ahead of expediency and putting what is right ahead of what may be popular.

Respect means that we treat each other and the communities we serve as we would like to be treated: with compassion and dignity. Within the Department, we strive to ensure all members are supported and empowered, regardless of rank or position. Outside of the Department, we strive to partner with the communities we serve through transparency, accountability, and building mutual trust. We recognize that respect, as a value, must permeate every police action we undertake.
