As the Chief of Police for the Cedarburg Police Department, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our web site and provide you with a brief introduction to our department.

The Cedarburg Police Department is a progressive, community-oriented agency, serving a community of approximately 11,460 residents.  The Department consists of nineteen sworn officers and ten civilian employees who are committed to providing the highest quality of police service in a professional and courteous manner.

Our Department takes great pride in the low crime rate in the City of Cedarburg, an attribute that continues to attract newcomers to our community.  We do, however, recognize that maintaining a safe community is only possible because of a strong and valued relationship between our department and the citizens of Cedarburg.  Our citizens recognize the importance of watching out for one another.  Because of citizen cooperation and involvement, the Cedarburg Police Department is able to more effectively protect and serve the people who live, work, and visit our community.

In May 2010, following a voluntary and intensive inspection and a hearing before the WI Law Enforcement Accreditation Group's Governing Board (WILEAG), the Cedarburg Police Department was unanimously granted official accreditation.  CPD became one of twenty law enforcement agencies in WI (approximately 600 total agencies) to achieve accreditation. According to the WILEAG Board, this highly recognized accreditation was granted based on our department demonstrating its commitment to law enforcement excellence by complying with standards deemed essential to the protection of life, safety, and citizens' rights; and by exemplifying the best professional practices in the conduct of its responsibilities. Accreditation is valid for a period of three years. 

As you visit this web site, it is my hope that you will become more educated about the Cedarburg Police Department.  Thank you for your visit, and I hope you find the information to be interesting and of value.
