Guiding Pr​inciples

The Anaheim Police Department Foundation follows the six pillars of the, “21st Century Policing,” blueprint. They are: Building Trust and Legitimacy, Policy and Oversight, Technology and Social Media, Community Policing and Crime Reduction, Training and Education, and Officer Safety and Wellness. The 21st Century Policing blueprint points out how the mission of law enforcement is, “to build trust between citizens and their peace officers so that all components of a community are treating one another fairly and justly and are invested in maintaining public safety in an atmosphere of mutual respect.” Our goal is to invest in Anaheim to create a strong lasting relationship based on empathy between the Police Department and the community they serve
