Welcome to the Lone Tree Police Department
The Lone Tree Police Department is committed to the safety of our residents, businesses, and visitors. Our department practices community policing, which means building connections with community members, treating people with respect, and providing support through education, training and community events. We believe that together, with our community, we can ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone.
As part of our community policing model, our officers use the TEACH model to guide how we serve and connect with our community. TEACH stands for principles for Truthful, Encouraging, Accountable, Collaborative, and Humility. These aren’t just words, they’re values we put into action every day, whether we’re responding to a call, having a conversation, or working alongside our teammates. It’s about treating people with respect and building relationships.
It is our honor to serve the people of the City of Lone Tree. Please let us know how we are doing or how we can help.
