Addison Citizens Assisting Police

Welcome to the Addison Police Department. We, the staff, appreciate your response to the need for volunteer services in our department.

 

Mission Statement of the Addison Police Department

We conduct ourselves according to the highest ethical standards, and treat others with fairness, dignity, and respect.
