Mission and values

Mission

The mission of the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) is to protect the lives and property of the citizens, to maintain peace and public security, to prevent and combat crime, and to uphold the prevailing laws and regulations (articles 48 and 69 of the Police Act, R.S.Q. c. P-13.1).

In partnership with the institutions, socio-economic organizations, community groups and citizens of the territory of Montréal, the SPVM seeks to enhance the citizens' quality of life by:

  • working to reduce crime,
  • increase road safety,
  • improve their sense of security,
  • develop a peaceful and safe environment, while upholding the rights and freedoms guaranteed under the Québec and Canadian charters of rights.

To accomplish its mission, the SPVM has adopted this vision :

« The SPVM serves as a model of professionalism and innovation at the core of Montréal life. »

To bring this vision to life, the SPVM relies on the often-tested professionalism of its entire civilian and police staff. The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal is dedicated to the service of the citizens it has a duty to protect and serve, always ready to meet the challenges of today and preparing for those of the future. With this as its goal, the SPVM strives to be a model of innovation in police practices, fully living up to its heritage in the spirit of its mission.

Values

The SPVM executive and personnel are united around three fundamental values rooted in the SPVM's mission and drawing on its vision.

  • Respect

Respect means behaving and treating others with consideration and dignity and remaining open to differences.

Respect underscores all our interactions with citizens, partners and the community, and all our relations with employees, colleagues and superiors. In daily work situations, SPVM employees are as respectful and open to others as they are to members of their own families.

  • Integrity

Integrity is the quality of someone who exercises their profession with rectitude, honesty and fairness.

The citizens' trust and respect toward the SPVM depend on the integrity of all our employees.

  • Commitment

Commitment means being wholly dedicated to the organization's mission and taking personal responsibility for all involved roles and duties.

The SPVM personnel set forth to accomplish their task, taking on the issues in the environment and working together to resolve them.
