The Magazine Police Department is responsible for preserving the peace, enforcing criminal and traffic laws and city ordinances, and conducting criminal investigations within the corporate limits of the City of Magazine. In March of 2022, Logan County and the City of Magazine entered into an Interlocal Agreement where the Logan County Sheriff's Office supervises and runs the Magazine Police Depart
ment. The full-time police chief position is now the full-time Magazine Sergeant position who acts as the police chief, works out of the Police Department offices in City Hall, attends City Council meetings and works with the mayor, and provides law enforcement services within the corporate boundaries of the city. A third part-time deputy is paid for by the Magazine School District and works as a School Resource Officer. Brett Chappell serves as the Magazine Police Chief, Jim Elkins serves as the part-time deputy assigned to patrol, and Jerry Holt serves as the part-time School Resource Officer.
