PURPOSE The purpose of the Santee Police Department is to protect and serve. The department protects the rights of all persons within its jurisdiction to be free from criminal attacks, secured in their possession and to live in peace.

In so doing, the Department's role is to enforce the law in a fair and impartial manner. Recognizing the statutes and judicial limitations of the police authority, and the constitutional rights of all persons, it is not the role of the Department to legislate, render legal judgement or to punish.
