Crawfordsville Police Department

The Crawfordsville Police Department (CPD) is comprised of thirty-one sworn officers, ten communications dispatchers, two clerical, a three-member meter department, and eight crossing guards. Overseeing the department is the three member Metropolitan Board of Police Commissioners. These are citizens appointed by the mayor who conduct hiring and implement general personnel policies of the CPD.

The structure of our sworn staff consists of the following; chief of police, assistant chief, twenty three uniformed patrol division officers, and five criminal investigators. All sworn officers are required to successfully meet the training requirements specified by the fifteen-week Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. Additionally, our department requires eight months of intense training prior to patrolling independently throughout our community. Officers must complete sixteen hours of state approved training annually to retain their powers.
