Douglas P. Bernabei, Chief of Police
The Peru Police Department is committed to keeping the City of Peru among the safest communities without losing its charm and friendliness.
- the prevention of crime and the protection of life and property;
- the preservation of peace, order and safety;
- the enforcement of laws and ordinances; and,

The members of the Peru Police Department are committed to achieving the highest possible quality of life for the community, of which we are an integral part, and are resolved to providing the highest levels of protection and service through community partnerships based on honesty, trust, fairness, compassion, respect, cooperation and shared vision. I realize that people are the key factor in both the quality of a community and in the effectiveness of an organization. Therefore, I pledge to recruit, train, educate, compensate, develop, and lead the people of the Peru Police Department in a way that promotes honesty, trust, integrity, courage, flexibility, creativity, dedication, and teamwork.
Sincerely,
