The Tiverton Police Department is committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and accountability. Our policies and procedures are designed to guide the actions of all department members and to ensure that every interaction with the public reflects our core values of Teamwork, Pride, Dedication, Respect, and Integrity.
These written directives establish clear expectations for conduct, performance, and decision-making in all aspects of policing — from use of force and unbiased policing to evidence handling, community engagement, and administrative practices. Each policy is developed in accordance with Rhode Island law, national best practices, and the principles of constitutional policing.
The department continually reviews and updates its policies to reflect evolving laws, technology, and community standards. This process ensures that our operations remain transparent, consistent, and responsive to the needs of those we serve.
Whenever possible, the Tiverton Police Department makes its policies publicly available to promote understanding, trust, and shared responsibility between the department and the community.
