Chief's Preface

The Seaside Police Department Policy Manual serves as a guide as to how employees of the Seaside Police Department are to carry out their duties and responsibilities. It also provides clear protocol to insure our staff is compliant with the law and are maintaining the highest level of professionalism. The Department's new motto is based on the framework of trust. Through our lens, trust is established by the following:

T - Transparency

R - Respect

U - Unity

S - Service

T - Training

Through the TRUST model, we will continue to strengthen our partnership with our community, keep our community members and employees safe, and do so with equity and respect for all. We will strive to never miss an opportunity to change someone's life for the better. Our polices and procedures are our standards of operation and we are all accountable to them. Our policies are derived from best practices, state law and in many cases, common sense.

It is the responsibility of every employee to read, understand and acknowledge our policies herein. The safety of our community and our employees is paramount. We will continue testing our knowledge of our policies through the Daily Training Bulletin feature (5 policies a month) to reinforce our understanding. This will limit confusion and uncertainty among staff and insure we are all adhering to our rules, regulations and protocols.

Lastly, shaping our culture internally to one of respect, unity, equality and integrity must be carried out by ALL. We must have the courage to hold each other to account and speak up when we see something wrong. Our community and our employees deserve the very best.
