AGENCY POLICIES

Open communication with our community is paramount for the Aberdeen Police Department. Therefore, we publish our policies for the public to view. These policies help guide the actions of our officers and civilian personnel as they perform their daily duties. Every real-life situation is unique, and every member of the Department is expected to use these policies as a guide to making decisions in a professional, impartial, and reasonable manner.

 

Department policies and procedures are subject to constant change. They are frequently updated or rescinded to accommodate new laws, court decisions, best practices, and other factors that may dictate revisions, additions, or deletions where necessary and appropriate.
