Town of Norfolk Police Department

The Town of Norfolk Police Department traces its origins to November 1975, when the Town Board approved the hiring of a part-time police officer to serve the Hamlet of Norfolk. In 1977, the department's first officer attended the Police Academy in Rochester, New York, and the department approved the purchase of the first police vehicle. Today, the Town of Norfolk Police Department serves the largest municipal jurisdiction in St. Lawrence County, excluding the areas patrolled by the New York State Police and the St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Office. The Town of Norfolk Police Department has a longstanding tradition of proudly employing military veterans.
