Mission and Values

Our values

  • What we do and how we do it matters because it inspires confidence in the community.
  • We represent law and order in our neighbourhood and are proud to serve the public.
  • We are strong when we act against crime and disorder and we are caring when we support people affected by it.
  • We are most effective when working with local people to tackle the things we all care about.

Everyone in Cheshire Constabulary is expected to demonstrate our core values. They underpin our approach to policing and the way in which we work for the public and with each other.

Our core values

  • Service - providing a service with the positive consent and support of all our communities
  • Professionalism - striving to improve our skills and expertise in order to improve performance
  • Integrity - maintaining the trust and confidence of our diverse communities demands us to be honest and ethical in how we conduct our business. It also requires rigorous and objective investigation and appropriate remedial action to be taken when appropriate.
  • Compassion - delivering services in a sympathetic and considerate manner and maintaining a duty of care to victims, witnesses and the public in general.
  • Equality and Fairness - underpinning everything we do is a commitment to equality and fairness in the delivery of services to the public and in our treatment of each other. This involves being proactive in tacking discriminatory behaviour, particularly relating to age, disability, gender, race religion or sexual orientation.
