The mission of the Danbury Police Department is to provide an environment for the people of Danbury that is free from the fear of crime, where people can enjoy a high quality of life, and the entire community can prosper. The Danbury Police Department executes its mission from a new state-of-the-art 75,000 square foot headquarters building on Main Street in downtown Danbury. We employ a fleet of over 100 vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and specialty vehicles to patrol the 44 square miles under our protection.

            Despite all the modern equipment and technology, it is our people that make our organization great. Our employees are involved in the community both on and off duty.  Our managers and supervisors are system thinkers, responsive to the constantly changing needs of the community.  It is the dedicated men and women in uniform of the Danbury Police Department who patrol our streets 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. It is the hard working plain-clothes detectives who work long and tedious hours to solve our most difficult crimes and bring those responsible to justice. It is the staff in Records, Administration, and Professional Standards who provide the best possible support to our field operations.
