 The
Liverpool Police Department has provided law enforcement service to
the citizens of the Village of Liverpool since 1830. See our
Police History
section for details.
The Department is one of 84 Police agencies to
receive NYS Law Enforcement Accreditation.
The Department currently has a Police Chief, one
Sergeant, three full time Police Officers, seven part time Police
Officers, one civilian employee and four part time Crossing Guards.
The Department is the primary law enforcement agency that patrols
the .08 square miles or over sixteen miles of roadway that
encompasses the village. The Village has two major routes, which
connect the northern and western suburbs of Onondaga County to the
City of Syracuse. The routes are State Route 57 and County Route
370. On average 36,000 vehicles travel through the village of
Liverpool on a daily basis. In addition, Onondaga Lake is a very
popular tourist and recreational destination and attracts thousands
of people every year. The village also hosts many special events
during the year, with as many as fifteen per month during the
summer.
The Officers respond to an average of 4,100 calls for
service annually which range from non-criminal incidents to major
incidents including burglary and assault complaints.
The Department has four Officers trained as criminal
evidence technicians, one accident investigation technician, one
firearms instructor, three NYS certified police instructors, four
bicycle patrol officers, one D.A.R.E. officer, and two
Nationally
Certified Child Safety Seat Technician. All
Officers are required to attend in-service training annually, in
addition to various professional development courses throughout the
year.
The Department provides a
police explorer post for youth in the
community age
14 through 20 who have an interest in a law enforcement career.
Each Officer carries the Glock .45 caliber
semi-automatic handgun on patrol. The patrol fleet consists of
four marked Crown Victoria Police Interceptor patrol vehicles and
one unmarked vehicle.
Each of the patrol vehicles is equipped with a mobile computer
terminal, radar unit and in-car video camera. The Police Department
has received grant funding for the purchase of patrol vehicles,
portable radios and other computer equipment.
The Department is committed to providing quality
Police service exceeding the community's expectations.
