Mission Statement
The Ashtabula City Police Department is initiating the implementation of “Broken Windows,” a newly adopted management philosophy which is comprised of the uniform and customary application of codified ordinances and State laws as they apply to the health and well being of the citizens of Ashtabula.
In conjunction with the City Manager, the Departments of Public Works, Sanitation, Planning & Community Development, Ward Representatives and the Ashtabula Metropolitan Housing Authority, the aspirations are to improve the overall quality of life by drastically reducing crime while at the same time increasing the appearance of this City.
It is our intention to send a strong message to our Community that crime will not be tolerated in either the least offensive or most heinous forms and we are committed to improving upon core values where citizens can raise a family in a safe and respectable environment.
