It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Police Department section of the City of Ames website. We hope you will enjoy the time at our site and find the material both informative and beneficial.
The employees of the Ames Police Department embrace the City's mission of caring people providing quality programs with exceptional service to a community of progress. We also continually strive to bring shared values to life, through our City Excellence Through People (ETP) organizational culture. Values include continuous improvement, respect for others, customer focused, data-driven decisions, positive attitude, teaming environment, creativity, and employee involvement. ETP assures that exceptional services are delivered to the public and employees experience an enjoyable and stimulating work environment.
We are also committed to the community policing philosophy of providing full-service policing, that identifies problems of crime and disorder and involves all elements of the Ames community in the search for solutions to these problems. We strongly believe in developing a close, mutually beneficial tie between community members and the police department. Together, we can make a difference.
The women and men of the Ames Police Department want to thank each of you for your continuing support. Without your commitment and partnership, we would be unable to reach our goal of public safety. We value your comments and input. Please feel free to contact me or any member of the department. My e-mail address is ccychosz@city.ames.ia.us.
Chief Charles Cychosz
