On behalf of the men and women of the Sierra Vista Police Department, welcome to our agency. The mission of the Sierra Vista Police Department is to protect and serve through professional, proactive, and innovative police services. As we strive to accomplish this mission, we prioritize community partnerships and value in-person interaction with our citizens. The foundation of our service philosophy is an in-house curriculum taught to all employees called “Service with Honor.” Three basic tenets serve as building blocks to this curriculum:

1. The individual will be respected.
2. Everyone will be given the best possible service.
3. Excellence and superior performance will be pursued.

Service with Honor is not just a manual for our department, it’s an organizational culture.

Transparency and professionalism are leadership values that drive our policies and procedures. Community trust and confidence must be earned through our actions. Accountability is a key element of our culture at the Sierra Vista Police Department. We always welcome feedback from the community.

Moving forward, we will continue to grow our community partnerships and evaluate our programs to ensure the best service delivery to our citizens. The Sierra Vista Police Department must be adaptable to the needs of the community.

Additionally, our department is a great place to work with lots of opportunities for professional growth and development. We are currently recruiting for the position of police officer. Our philosophy is to “hire the heart and train the hands.” If you care about your community and you are seeking a rewarding career where you can make a positive difference daily, we want to meet you. Please contact our recruiter Lilly Perry at Lilly.Perry@SierraVistaAZ.gov.

In your service,

Christopher Hiser
Chief of Police
