The Town Police Department's responsibility is to protect and preserve the rights of its citizens and the enforcement of applicable state, county and local laws. To achieve this, the department provides basic police services; crime prevention and investigation, patrol, traffic enforcement, and a youth division. By maintaining a high standard of public safety and well-being, the crime rate within the community is well below average.
In addition to its regular duties of law enforcement, the Police Department assists the Volunteer Ambulance Corps in responding to emergency medical calls and sponsors such activities as crime prevention lectures, youth programs, public safety and protection seminars.
The Town Board sits as the Board of Police Commissioners which is the governing body of the Police Department. An enhanced 911 emergency telephone system allows officers to respond within minutes to any call. The Chief and lieutenants may be reached by e-mail as follows:

Youth is an important resource in our community and the Police Department has reached out to the young people in several ways. The Youth Officer spends many hours in the schools counseling and assisting students in numerous situations. The D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is offered to fifth and seventh grade students in local schools. This national program provides information and skills to help students resist pressures regarding drugs and alcohol. Approximately 340 students from Central School, Murray Avenue School, St. John & Paul's School, Actionville, and Hommocks Middle School completed the DARE program given by the Town DARE officer.
