Our first priority is and always will be to preserve the high quality of life and feeling of safety for our city's growing population. Members of the Duvall Police Department are committed to serving our community with professionalism, respect, and compassion. To optimize stewardship of police resources, the department balances sustainability with a firm and quick response to crime, problem solving through community partnerships, and crime prevention.
