Community Policing

---

Community policing has become an active part of the Rolla Police Department. This unique idea is bringing positive response from the Rolla community as special programs are implemented into organizations and schools. The programs, which are listed below, have had an impact on the community, and have improved the relationships between law enforcement and the community.

To contact our Community Service Officer, call Stg. Tony Lauth at the Rolla Police Department at (573) 308-1213, or send an email to Tony Lauth
