Mission Statement

We, the members of the Fairfield Police Department, work in partnership with the community to continuously provide a safe and secure environment in which to live, work and visit.

Who We Are

Each of our 71 sworn officers, 16 emergency dispatchers, and 17 additional support staff pride themselves on professionalism and teamwork. The department responds to approximately 30,000 calls for service annually, reflecting a slight upward trend over the years.

A Community Policing philosophy of effective use of communication and problem-solving skills guides each officer’s interaction with citizens.

The Department is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The most recent accreditation review in 2022 resulted in an award of Advanced Accreditation with Excellence.
