P.A.C.T. (Police and Community Together) began in the Ridgeview Community in 1994 and developed into an integral part of our policing philosophy citywide. The Hickory Police Department strives to be the model of Community Policing, training officers to work in partnership with the community to solve problems. Many citizens know their PACT officers by name, which cultivates stronger relationships between the police department and our citizens.

P.A.C.T. also represents the Hickory Police Department’s Core Values of Professionalism, Accountability, Compassion, and Teamwork.
