The Pineville Police Department recently participated in a professional development training hosted by Police2Peace, an organization known for its focus on community-centered policing practices.

Funded through a U.S. Department of Justice grant, the training came at no cost to the City of Pineville or its taxpayers. The program offered officers the opportunity to deepen their commitment to policing that is effective, empathetic, and rooted in justice—principles that have long guided the department’s mission.

“We were proud to learn that our current practices already align with the values emphasized by the Peace Officer program,” the department shared in a statement. “This training reaffirmed our approach to building strong, respectful relationships with the community we serve.”

As part of its ongoing effort to foster transparency and connection with the public, the Pineville Police Department encourages residents to submit compliments for officers who have made a positive impact. A new feature on the department’s website allows community members to recognize officers for outstanding service.
