About the Department of Public Safety
The Mayflower Department of Public Safety (DPS) stands as the State's highest authority in protecting its people and preserving the integrity of every agency that serves them. Created to unify, regulate, and oversee all branches of law enforcement and emergency services, the Department ensures that power is exercised with purpose and never without accountability.
Through the leadership of the Secretary of Public Safety, DPS sets statewide standards, enforces discipline, and investigates corruption or misconduct at every level. Its mission reaches beyond traditional policing—it's about structure, integrity, and trust. Whether it's coordinating first responders, certifying officers, or investigating those who abuse authority, the Department serves as both guardian and regulator of public safety across Mayflower.
The motto isn't just words—it's a warning and a promise.
Every badge answers to the law. Every agency answers to the Department.
