Looking to make a difference? Ready for a career that's more than just another job? The Burlington Police Department focuses on community-based policing, an approach that is all about serving the needs of Burlington's residents.

Community-based policing is a unique approach to police work. It's something that you might not find at all departments. It puts a premium on working with our citizens to better understand and serve the needs of the City's different neighborhoods. And it makes a huge difference for everyone involved, as Corporal Jamie Chase explains here.

“Community” is defined as “a group of people living together in one place, especially one practicing common ownership” as well as “a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals.” These notions are at the heart of our approach to policing.
