Citizens & Community

A TPD Officer interacts with members of the community

Officers of the Tallahassee Police Department patrol in a proactive manner to deter and locate criminal activity, investigate suspicious persons and/or circumstances, and enforce motor vehicle laws. It is proactive enforcement that keeps our citizens free from crime and our streets and highways safe to drive upon. We accomplish this mission in a way that respects the dignity of all persons and yet sends a strong deterrent message to actual and potential law breakers.

Bias based profiling is the selection of individuals based solely on a common trait of a group. This includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, economic status, age or culture. The Tallahassee Police Department prohibits bias based profiling by its officers.
