In year 2010, the North Haven Police Department will enter its 67th year of providing public safety to the Town of North Haven. From its early beginning in the basement of the current Town Hall to its present location since 1965 at 8 Linsley Street, its primary mission is to protect lives and property, and provide professional police services to the citizens of North Haven.

The Department consists of 48 sworn officers, 4 civilian dispatchers, and 4 clerical support staff. The Animal Control Officer and a traffic maintenance person are under the direct supervision of the department.

The Police Department serves as the “Public Safety Answering Point” for the Town. All police, fire, and emergency dispatching as well as 911 emergency calling are handled by the center.

As in the past, officers participated in various community programs; Special Olympics “Torch Run”, “Tip a Cop” charity, Internet Safety and Drug Awareness seminars for students and parents. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education class is taught to all 5th grade students and the department maintains a School Resource Officer at the High School and Middle School.

Last year, community policing was expanded through the use of the police motorcycle and bicycle patrols. These programs met with great success in securing a safe environment in our retail shopping areas throughout the town.

The North Haven Police Department continues to request public support in the recognition and reporting of criminal activity. For emergencies callers should dial 911. For other inquiries call 239-5321, ext 224.
