They will always have the courage to hold themselves and others accountable for their actions. They will always uphold the Constitution, the community, and the agency they serve.

P – PROFESSIONALISM: As professional police officers, each officer has a duty to adhere to the ethical standards of the profession and to place his/her responsibilities for the welfare of the citizens of this community above personal concerns while rendering police services.

D – DISCIPLINE: Richmond Heights Police Officers will stand tall, not because someone told them to, but because of the pride inside them.
