Richmond Police Department
The Richmond Police Department was founded in March of 1834 with the appointment of Isaac Barnes as the first "High Constable". As the City has grown, so too has the Police Department. Today, the Police Department consists of 77 sworn Officers and 15 Civilian staff responsible for maintaining peace in the city and responding to calls for service from the citizens and visitors alike.
The 77 sworn officers uphold Indiana law as well as ordinances passed by the City. In addition, these officers have the responsibility to prevent crime through vigilance and directed patrols, respond to crimes in progress, investigate these crimes to their conclusion, and arrest those who break the law.
In 2007, Officers of the Richmond Police Department responded to 40,790 calls for service from citizens and visitors to the City of Roses.
