Rolla Police Department
Chief's Welcome:
As Chief of the Rolla Police Department, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our home page.
Whether you are a resident of Rolla, a retiree or business owner seeking to relocate, someone
who is planning to visit, or a cyberspace explorer, I trust that you will find something of
interest within these pages on how the Rolla Police Department serves this community. The
technology of the World Wide Web is a natural complement to the community policing philosophy
of the Rolla Police Department. The Department strives to keep pace with emerging programs
and methods that will help us maintain a high quality of life in Rolla. We believe by working
in partnership with the community we can create a city where residents and visitors can work,
play, and relax in an environment of safety.
Crime is a community concern, and in Rolla we have created a public/private partnership that has had an impact on crime. That partnership
is made stronger by using every method we can discover to help our citizens understand how
the Department works in Rolla. We encourage you to explore this Website, and if you are a
resident or planning to become a resident of Rolla, I urge you to consider becoming involved
in this community. Together, we can continue to work in partnership and make Rolla an even
better place to live.
