Mission Statement:
Our purpose is to serve the people of Duvall and Carnation; to assure the safety of the community through enforcement and education; to protect individual rights; and to promote the common good. Duvall - Carnation Police Officers are committed to the principles of duty, integrity, compassion, and professional growth.

Police Department Responsibilities
The Duvall - Carnation Police Department is responsible for police services within the city limits of Duvall and Carnation. The Department is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Being a local department gives the officers a very quick response time when assistance is needed. The Department is comprised of a chief, 2 lieutenants, 10 full time officers, 2 reserve officers, and a full time clerk.

Some officers specialize in specific aspects of law enforcement, such as Crime Prevention, DARE, School Resource Officer, Field Training, Evidence Collection, Traffic Accident investigation, Bicycle Patrol, and River Patrol. Each aspect requires specialized training.

With regrets to all patch collectors: "Our uniforms are paid for by public funds. By the recommendation of the state auditor we are not able to sell, trade, or give away any of our department issued items."
