Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Bonners Ferry Police Department to create an atmosphere of partnership with the community toward the common goal of protecting life, property and enhancing the overall quality of life.

We strive to accomplish this through mutual trust and respect, and the fair and equitable enforcement of law, while carefully safeguarding the dignity of all we serve.
