To the Citizens and Visitors of Aragon,
Welcome to the Aragon Police Department's web site. We appreciate your interest, and encourage you to visit us
here often. This web site was designed to provide you with a variety of information on how our Department
works. We hope that you'll find this information useful in getting to know us better.
A society free from crime, violence, and accidental injury remains an unachieved ideal. It is therefore the mission
of the Aragon Police Department to seek and find ways to affirmatively promote, preserve and deliver a feeling of
security, safety, and productive quality services for all citizens in our community. As an agency committed to
community quality, "A Community Partner", all department members are trained to a high level and are
dedicated to helping citizens and families improve the neighborhood environment as a means to a safer, more
enjoyable community. Preventing crime is our first operational priority as we work from a community-based
philosophy of policing. Working together we are most apt to make lasting improvements in our quality of life. I
encourage citizens to offer suggestions on how we might provide better police services in the future.
Community Policing is a philosophy and an organizational strategy that promotes a new partnership between
people and their police. It is based on the premise that both police and the citizens must work together to
identify, prioritize, and solve community concerns. We must be creative and innovative as we work with
neighborhoods to reduce and prevent crime, disorder and fear. We will be relentless in our efforts to identify and
arrest criminals, and we must also be actively involved in helping our citizens develop long-term solutions to
their community problems.
The Aragon Police Department continuously reviews the way we deploy our staffing resources in an effort to
increase our ability to respond to community needs and maximize our resources. The department is
continuously advancing the use of technology in order to provide the most up-to-date information to our staff to
enable us to be efficient and effective. Technology, however, can never replace the value of you, the citizens,
sharing information with your local law enforcement officers.
We understand that building, cultivating and maintaining the community's trust is the key element in crime
reduction in our City. We are committed to reducing crime in our neighborhoods by targeting all areas of crime
and community concerns. Our ultimate goal at the Aragon Police Department is to improve the quality of life for
all our citizens as well as others we serve. By maintaining close partnerships in our public and private sectors,
we will attain this goal.
Please check back frequently,
Chief Wayne Sanders
