The
Los Lunas Police Department is a progressive, proactive, full service public
safety organization providing 24/7, 365 day police services to the community.
We also provide radio telecommunications support for local and county police,

Mission
The
mission of the Village of Los Lunas Police Department is to provide the best
quality police services to the community, to treat all persons equally, with
dignity and respect, to enforce the provisions of the U.S. and New Mexico
Constitutions, to enforce state and local laws, and to work in cooperation with
the Village administration, elected officials, the general public, the business
community and all other community institutions.
Goals/Objectives
Community Policing
The
Los Lunas Police Department has adopted a community policing philosophy
throughout the Village, building a stronger partnership with its customers to
better respond to the needs of the community. Officers are encouraged to get to
know the customers residing in their assigned neighborhoods and business areas
to discuss problems and solutions together.
Educational Law Enforcement
The Los Lunas Police Department has adopted an educational
philosophy of law enforcement with "public safety of its customers" its
primary responsibility. Officers are encouraged to educate the public
in the enforcement of laws with verbal or written warnings for the
first time offenders where appropriate.
Reduction of crime/liability
The
Los Lunas Police Department is committed to reduce crime and the fear of crime
within the Village for a safer community for all its customers. We will
reorganize the department to strengthen the command staff, first line
supervision and criminal investigations. We have created a professional
standards position to update our policies and procedures to state and national
standards. We have also assigned officers to the regional drug and gang task
forces, assigned an officer to the schools, assigned officers to the juvenile
drug court and teen court, and created an Internet and computer crimes unit.
