The mission of the Tybee Island Police Department is to strengthen and maintain the social order of the community by providing professional law enforcement services, while remaining within prescribed ethical and constitutional limits.

The Department will work to prevent, detect and investigate criminal activity, to recover lost and stolen property, and to apprehend and prosecute suspected offenders. The Department will further provide community service under non-criminal circumstances such as natural or manmade disasters and medical emergencies. The Department will actively solicit and encourage the contribution of all citizens to assist in the formulation of activities which accomplish these goals.
