Who we want to be. A unified, barrier-free department that values and supports employees in order to provide exceptional customer service. How we will get there. These core values are collective values and principles that formulate our basic beliefs and practices. They serve as guidelines and boundaries to help us make the right decisions in facing the challenges and opportunities of the future.
Values are like a compass, guiding our conduct and our thoughts.
Our core values are not meant simply to fulfill the requirements for a motto, a slogan, or a bumper sticker. They are meant to guide, clarify, focus and illuminate our lives, choices, decisions and reactions, and to facilitate our ability to excel as a team. Integrity - Maintain the highest levels of honesty, credibility and character in all relations, partners within the department and with the citizens we serve, upholding a code of conduct that is demonstrated through high moral and ethical standards. Professionalism - Display the best the public, our employer, and our peers can expect in our working relationships, demonstrating a commitment to excellence reflected in our service, skill, courtesy, teamwork, timeliness, and our understanding of the needs of those we serve. Excellence - Continually strive to perform to standards that exceed expectation, stressing superior quality, attention to detail, exceptional customer service and innovative solutions.
