The
Sterling Police Department continually strives to accomplish its
mission to promote, preserve, and deliver a feeling of security,
safety and quality service to the Sterling community.
In 1991, we began our transition into
Community Policing. Today, we continue to experiment and evolve in
that direction.
Our
focus now is twofold; to work with citizens and government to
improve the quality of life in Sterling and also to concentrate on
the youth of the community.
Please explore our website and learn
more about the City of Sterling and the Sterling Police Department.
