As the Chief of Police, I am honored to present the 2022 Vinton Police Department annual report on
behalf of our officers and professional staff. The yearly publications function as a benchmark for
any law enforcement agency. We capture and share statistical data and trends, but our jobs do not
stop there. We also capture a critical component of policing, our connection with the community.
The foundation of any successful relationship is based on transparency, trust, and collaborative
cooperation. The Vinton Police Department always strives to work alongside our community and
various stakeholders. From policing to community projects, the Vinton Police Department will
always ensure that our actions are focused, intentional, and with an unwavering commitment to
improving the quality of our service.
As an agency, we certainly reflect on our past, but we always aim to be a progressive agency that
prepares for our future. As community servants, we have an inherent duty to be reflective of our
residents and the community that we serve. Our commitment remains true today, as it has been in
the past. The men and women of the Vinton Police Department will always strive to keep our
communities safe and continue to work towards making the Town of Vinton a destination place for
all to eat, shop, live, and play.
As an agency, we will always be accountable to those we serve. Together we will advance our
agency, remain true to our mission, and earn the right to police and engage with our community.
Public safety is an honorable profession and a critical component of our social fabric. One of my
greatest honors is being able to serve the Town of Vinton as your Chief of Police.
In closing, as the Chief of Police, I am grateful for the men and women of the Vinton Police
Department. A team of dedicated professionals who have a passion for improving the quality of life
for us all. As a Chief, I am honored to serve alongside them, and as a private citizen, I am grateful to
have our officers. All the events, statistical data, and engagement are attributed to their success. It
is them that make the Vinton Police Department. I have the distinct pleasure of being their Chief.
