In 1930 a town ordinance established the Police Department consisting of seven officers. Today the sworn and non-sworn staff of the department number about 230 employees. For the men and women of the police department our mission hasn’t changed much since the 1930’s. Quite simply, we exist to make Fairfield safer, we always have and always will. We are committed to our mission and remain ever vigi
lant in our service to the residents and visitors of the Town of Fairfield. Remember though, we can’t do it alone. An informed, involved and engaged community remains the number one resource we have to help fulfill our mission. The Fairfield Police Department currently employs 108 sworn officers, 100 authorized Special Agents, 15 Telecommunications Officers , 4 Animal Control officers, 7 Marina Guards, 6 full-time and several part-time civilian personnel. The department has three divisions; Field Services Bureau, Support Services Bureau and the Professional Standards and Public Affairs Bureau. There are also several specialized units within those divisions: Bike Patrol, Marine Patrol, Motorcycle Patrol, Emergency Services Unit, Dive Team, Traffic Crash Investigation Unit as well as D.A.R.E. and other community programs.
