Mead Police Safety & Education Outreach

THE SURVEY RESULTS ARE IN!

POLICE RESOURCES

In 2017, the Mead Police Department was established after Weld County decided they would no longer provide public safety services to the Town. Since then, Mead has worked toward a local police department that now provides 24/7 officer support. Today, the department includes 16 sworn staff members: 10 officers who work three rotating shifts, two full-time School Resource Officers, two Sergeants, and two administrators.

What does public safety mean in Mead?

With an emphasis on community policing, beyond just reacting to emergency calls, responding and investigating crimes, and enforcing traffic regulations, the department allocates time to crime prevention efforts and education. This includes staffing School Resource Officers in Mead schools, providing support services for victims, actively participating in community events, and handling responses to mental health crises.

Responding to community needs

The Mead Police Department is dedicated to expanding its community policing efforts to meet the town's growing needs. To ensure the department is adequately resourced for future operations, residents were invited to take a short survey about their willingness to support additional police resources in the community.
