Our mission is to serve and protect in a manner that preserves public trust. We are committed providing an exceptionally safe and secure community with great dignity and respect. We are proud to serve and protect our Brooklyn Center residents, businesses, visitors, and those with who we work within the City of Brooklyn Center. As a first-ring suburb, we address many urban issues, but keep in mind the hometown feel of Brooklyn Center.

Services

A variety of prevention, response, and community support services exist to address basic needs, as well as emerging issues. We encourage you to take advantage of all our programs to ensure your family stays safe and our community remains a great place to live, work, and recreate.

Our Organization

Our department (when fully staffed) is made up of 51 licensed, full-time police officers and 22 full and part-time non-sworn staff. These dedicated men and women respond to questions, calls for service, investigations, non-emergency, and emergency situations. We have crime prevention programs established for public education, youth, and schools, cultural diversity, neighborhoods, and businesses. Wonderful opportunities exist to be a public safety volunteer and help make our community even better.
