T he strength of the El Paso Police Department lies in the quality of character of the men and women who fi ll our ranks. These individuals, whether sworn or civilian, priori Ɵ ze providing excellent service to the community while striving towards improved standards of public safety. T he department is dedicated to protec Ɵ ng the interests and well-being of the community. This year we con Ɵ nued to focus on our top priori Ɵ es of reducing Part 1 crime, improving response Ɵ mes and calls for service, and addressing tra ffi c safety concerns. O nly rare individuals are capable of doing good police work. Our department is fortunate to be fi lled with such excep Ɵ onal individuals who are able to handle the unique challenges faced by police. We are especially strengthened by those who feel the calling to the profession as a career and not just a job.
I n 2016, the department saw many challenges and grieved tremendous losses. Together, we celebrate our many successes and honor the memory of those who have made great sacri fi ces. Solidarity and determina Ɵ on are necessary for facing the ever-changing landscape of policing in modern society. Gregory K. Allen Chief of Police El Paso Police Department n an ce me So fac mo
