Two Prong Approach to Law Enforcement

At the Bosque Farms Police Department we work very hard to provide the most complete law enforcement possible. We take a two prong approach to law enforcement. The first prong is traffic enforcement. It is our belief that the largest percentage of crime can be managed by the implementation of sound and aggressive traffic enforcement, and our statistics prove that. During calendar year 2005 the Bosque Farms Police Department issued over 7,000 traffic citations. The second prong is community policing. We stress community policing to our officers on an ongoing bases. We have mandatory residential patrols, business checks, and patrols of critical facilities within our Village. We strongly believe that this approach is what keeps our crime rates the lowest in Valencia County, year in and year out.

At the Bosque Farms Police Department we are very serious about training. It is our belief that if you want an officer to be the best, then you need to provide him or her with the necessary equipment and training. Chief Stidham has implemented a department standard of 40 hours of advanced training per year. This far exceeds the state requirement. On average officers receive in excess of 100 hours of advanced training per year. We have established relationships with local, state, and federal agencies across the country to provide training for our department. Captain Jones will sit down with you on a one on one bases to develop your training interests, and needs. He will then tailor your training program during your tenure here based upon that assessment.
