Vision Statement

The Corrales Police Department has a well-deserved reputation for its commitment to the philosophy of community policing. We are dedicated to a partnership with our community to prevent crime, neighborhood problems, and fear of crime. This is accomplished by using time-tested police methods and new problem-solving techniques. We preserve life, protect property, and promote equal rights by working with all the citizens of our community. The highest standards of professional ethics, values, and personal integrity will be demonstrated. We will make the Village of Corrales the safest community in America.

 

Coffee with a Cop

 

The Corrales Police Department participates in many community outreach programs throughout the year.

 

2022 saw the return of Coffee with a Cop, after Covid-restrictions put a halt to the event for a couple years.

Corrales Police officers with backpack donations for kids

 

The Corrales Police Department also coordinates Cops and Crayons every year, which is a school supply drive for children.  Corrales residents can drop off supplies or gift cards to the police department in the weeks before school begins, then the CPD officers deliver backpacks full of supplies to the schools to help children in need.

Officers and kids around the Christmas tree

 

 

 

Cops for Kids is an annual holiday event where officers are paired with a child for a day of food, music, crafts, and lots of fun. CPD participates along with other law enforcement agencies in the area to help underprivileged kids.

Trick or Trunk event

 

Corrales Police also are always on-hand for community events like the annual Trick or Trunk event, held every year on Halloween and sponsored by the Corrales Parks and Recreation Department. CPD can also be seen interacting with the community during the annual Harvest Festival in September, and at the annual 4th of July and Starlight Parades.

Officers at National Night Out Party

 

National Night Out is a nation-wide event taking place every year in August, that promotes safer communities by giving neighbors a chance to get to know each other and their local police. Corrales officers visit each neighborhood that hosts an event.
