    KEIZER POLICE DEPARTMENT

    At the Keizer Police Department (KPD)
    we are more than just a law
    enforcement agency—we are a tight
    knit group that values family and
    community. Our commitment to
    community safety is rooted in the
    values of fairness, integrity, and
    impartial policing. We believe in

    relationships within our diverse and

    We have identified five personal
    attributes to guide performance and
    the department’s hiring, promotional
    and evaluation processes:

    CONSCIENTIOUSNESS
    Conscientiousness in law enforcement
    ensures meticulous attention to detail,
    adherence to ethical standards, and a
    commitment to thorough, responsible
    decision-making, contributing to the
    integrity and effectiveness of the
    criminal
    justice
    system.

    COURAGE
    Courage (integrity) is crucial for
    maintaining public trust, upholding
    justice, and ensuring officers act
    ethically and bravely in the face of
    challenges.

    EMPATHY
    Empathy is crucial because it fosters
    understanding, builds community
    connections, and promotes fair and
    compassionate treatment, enhancing
    the overall effectiveness and legitimacy
    of the justice system.

    HELPFULNESS
    Helpfulness cultivates positive
    community relations, promotes public
    safety, and strengthens trust by
    demonstrating a commitment to
    assisting and supporting individuals in
    times of need.

    HUMILITY
    Humility in law enforcement
    acknowledges that we can’t police
    society on our own, fosters
    collaboration, and enhances community
    relations, creating a more approachable
    and empathetic force that prioritizes
    education and improvement.

    performing the essential functions of this position. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with
    disabilities to perform the essential functions.

    Physical & Mental Demands
    Mental alertness is important because of the need to make fine discriminations and decisions concerning subtle cues of
    impending danger or to discover inconsistencies in witnesses or situations changing dramatically within a few seconds,
    taxing the maximum of human endurance. Therefore, incumbents must remain physically and mentally fit to enable them
    to handle recurrent contacts and involvement with dangerous and potentially dangerous people, animals, and equipment,

    officer at the time of the event, to effectively bring an incident under control.

    Employees must maintain a safe work environment by complying with City and Department safety policies and rules and
    by practicing safety while performing the essential functions of the position.

    Work conditions may vary by shift. Some tasks are performed in an office setting with a noise level that is usually
    moderately quiet and some tasks are performed outside from a police vehicle. Few tasks require heavy lifting, pushing,
    pulling, or carrying heavy loads. Physical strength, agility, and stamina sufficient to perform the duties, including work
    beyond normal requirements in emergencies are required. Flexibility is important because of the need to frequently enter
    and exit vehicles, inspect buildings, climb over and around obstacles, make sudden moves, etc. Duties include risk of
    exposure to bloodborne pathogens and disease.

    An employee in this classification may perform any of the following duties; however, these examples do not include all the
    specific tasks which an employee may be expected to perform. Duties and responsibilities are subject to change by the
    employer as the needs of the employer and requirements of the job change.

    It is the responsibility of every employee to represent the City of Keizer by responding to the public, citizens, its
    employees, and others promptly, professionally and with courtesy. This includes regarding everyone, internal and
    external, as a customer and delivering the best service possible in a respectful and patient manner. Additional
