Welcome to the Rochester Police Department website. We have worked hard to create a site that is both interesting and informative.
To be successful a modern police department must have strong community relationships that build public trust.
We offer a variety of specialties and programs in the Department from which our citizens reap the rewards, some include:
- Community Engagement Officer
- Crime Line
- Crime Maps
- Crime Scene Processing
- Crisis Intervention Team
- Honor Guard
- Motorcycle Unit
- Project Good Morning
- Regional Accident Reconstruction Team
- Rochester United Neighborhoods
- School Resource Officers
I consider myself very fortunate to command this group of professionals who are not only highly trained but also committed to providing state of the art law enforcement services to the City of Rochester.
We hope that you enjoy browsing the various pages that illustrate the type of work we do and the services we provide to our citizens.
