The Windermere Police Department is dedicated to providing a high level of service to our community using 21st century professional policing standards, and enveloping procedural integrity in everything that we do. We strive to be an exemplary police department that achieves all aspects of our mission, and earns the trust of our community.
Our officers are Guardians within the community and stand ready to protect and serve. We are committed to, and embrace our ethos; Honor, Integrity and Service to others. Our goal is to prevent crime, the fear of crime, and to pursue justice for all while avidly protecting everyone’s civil rights and civil liberties. “Everything matters” and we want to provide a level of service to our community that sets a new standard in police practice.
As your Chief of Police, I pledge to stand firm to our values, maintain a high standard of ethics, abide by all laws, and hold ourselves accountable. It is my job to set an example for others, inspire our shared vision, encourage our team, and enable them to do their jobs through fostering a positive work environment. I hope and pray each day to achieve these standards.
Chief David A. Ogden
Leadership is service, not your title.
