Message from the Chief

I am dedicated to ensuring that the officers who for you have the tools they need to do their job.  To this end, we invest heavily in training and education for our police officers.  Department-wide, we average 660 hours per year in training time.  This includes the mandatory in-service training required by the Municipal Police Officers' Education and Training Commission, annual re-certification in firearms, OC (pepper)Spray, ASP baton, first aid, CPR/AED, and many others.  In addition to this, officers receive training in many varied topics related to their main job description. These include narcotics officer training, vehicle accident reconstruction, supervision, D.A.R.E., and School Resource Officer.
