City of Centerville Goals Adopted May 23, 2001 Public Safety Police and Fire services were not mentioned in the original document and most people take it for granted because of the exceptional service. The dedication of our firefighters and police officers is without question -- superb. Centerville has a full contingent of dedicated, trained firefighters with modern equipment to provide prevention, protection, and medical assistance.

The Department is dedicated to community policing, prevention and safety through education, citizen involvement in neighborhood watch programs, and thorough investigation, apprehension, and prosecution of criminals.
