Policy
Good policy is the foundation for public safety operations. It is a critical component that ensures fairness, consistency, and provides guidance for police response. BIPD policies are based on national standards and best practices, comply with state and federal laws, and comply with court rulings. Our policy manual is continuously reviewed and updated and the practices of the department are reviewed for compliance with those policies.- Joseph N. Clark, Chief of Police.
In response to requests from members of the Bainbridge community, the link below guides you to the latest version of BIPD's policy manual. Contact Chief of Police Joseph Clark if you have questions or want more information via email or by calling 206-842-5211.

Customer Survey Program
Since 2012, the BIPD has been sending out 20 surveys at random each month to individuals who had contact with a member of the department during the previous month. The intent of the survey is to give the citizens we serve an opportunity to evaluate how we’re doing. Respondents are provided with a postage paid return envelope and survey answers are anonymous. The response rate continues to be encouraging and we thank everyone who received a survey and took the time to respond. Your feedback helps us recognize our successes and identify areas that need improvement. Below are survey results to date:

* In 2020, no surveys were mailed in May or June. This was due in part to a reduced number of calls for service and a purposefully reduced number of self-generated interactions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, although responses continued to arrive based on surveys sent earlier in the year. The practice of mailing surveys began again in July.
