Guiding Principles of the Brookings Police Department
The men and women of the Brookings Police Department are responsible for providing law enforcement services to the citizens of Brookings. As a police agency, we are committed to serving our community according to our guiding principles of service with PRIDE, PRIDE in ourselves, PRIDE in our department, and PRIDE in our community. We define PRIDE as:

P – Professionalism: To provide the highest degree of service to our citizens and our community by conducting ourselves in a manner commensurate with our ability and commitment to fulfilling the obligations we have chosen to accept as members of the Brookings Police Department.

R – Respect: To treat each individual we meet during the course of our duties in a courteous, fair, and professional manner irrespective of the circumstances.

I – Integrity: To adhere to a code of conduct which reflects our moral and ethical responsibilities, our honesty, and our dedication to service, while holding ourselves and our peers accountable for our actions.

D – Dedication: Our unfailing sense of duty to provide protection and service to the citizens we serve and to put the needs of our citizens first, regardless of the personal sacrifices we must endure.

E – Ethics: To instill in ourselves and our fellow officers those morals, values and principles which will inspire each of us to a higher sense of duty, one that is above question or reproach.

By utilizing these guiding principles as a framework for providing police services to our community, and committing ourselves to serve with PRIDE, the men and women of the Brookings Police Department will provide consistent police service that is responsive and sensitive to the needs of the community.
