Farmington Police Department - New Mexico

The Farmington Police Department is an internationally accredited, progres­sive law enforcement agency committed to maintaining the highest standards of personal and organizational in­tegrity while providing our community with a superior level of ser­vice. Department chal­lenges are met by remaining responsive to community needs, employing innovative crime-fighting strate­gies, implementing state-of-the-art tech­nology, and providing leadership to our young people through effective crime preven­tion and intervention programs.

The Department continues to demon­strate its commitment to the community by aggressively address­ing criminal activity through Community Oriented Policing con­cepts. The community policing initiatives conducted by the De­partment are designed to meet the diverse needs of the communi­ty. Several offices are maintained throughout the community to en­hance accessibility to police services. These offices are located at the old fire station on McCormick School Road, the City Centre, located in downtown Farmington, and the Urgent Care Center on East Main Street.

Recognizing that today’s youth are the keys to our future, the Department maintains the School Resource Officer program in the local schools. The De­partment also sponsors a two week Summer Adventure Camp for local youth.

The Farmington Police Department continues to meet the standards to remain ac­credited through the Commission on Ac­creditation for Law Enforcement Agen­cies (CALEA). The Department went through the GOLD STANDARD process in April 2012 and was awarded the Meritorious Certificate of Re-accreditation in July of 2012.
