Police Department

The River Bend Police Department provides 24 hour
coverage, seven days a week to provide timely response to
emergency calls and proactive policing designed to keep
our community safe.

This small staff provides the same level of service as larger
departments including traffic enforcement, criminal
investigations, bike patrol, and town ordinance
enforcement.

The Police also offer a vacant house check service and a
"Morning Call" program. Click on the links to the left for
more information.

The work of the Police professionals is supplemented by
the hardworking volunteers of the River Bend Community
Watch. For more information, or to join this group, you can
contact Chief Matthews.

River Bend also has a functional Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT). For more information about this
group, you can contact the CERT liaison, Sgt.
Riegelsperger and/or click the link below.
