Crime Prevention

This is the most important part of the mission statement of the Hillsboro Police.  Without citizen participation the department cannot effectively serve its citizens.   Crime prevention is a "hands on" process -- whether it be through building relationships with seniors at our annual Valentine's Dance, or through our many outreach functions outlined below. It is all about people -- you and your police department.
