Thank you for visiting the Harvey Police Department.
Sir Robert Peel, considered the father of Community Policing, stated in 1829:
“The measure of a good police organization is not by how many people are arrested, but by the lack of crime in the area.” This is the core of our mission, which is not easily achieved. The only way to achieve a lack of crime in the area, is by preventing it, and the only way to prevent crime is by creating strong partnerships within the community, both with residents and businesses, strong partnerships with surrounding police agencies, and by working diligently every minute of every hour of every day, to be the most professional, compassionate and trustworthy police department we can be.
The staff of the Harvey Police Department work extremely hard to make Harvey one of the safest places to live in North Dakota.
I am honored to serve as the Chief of Police for this organization, and all members of the Harvey Police Department, are equally honored to serve. Please enjoy our website.
