Welcome to the City of Columbus Police Department webpage! I hope this site provides you with useful information about who we are and
what we do in the community.
A police chief has many responsibilities to both the police department and the community. Planning, budgeting, training and personnel
matters are just some of the "Internal" responsibilities that I deal with. Externally, I have the overall responsibility to ensure that
the police department is providing this community with quality services in an efficient and effective manner. My overall goal is improve
upon the quality of life in Columbus. By working with other city departments, businesses, community organizations and the residents of
Columbus, I feel this is a realistic and achievable goal. Effective communication is a critical part of achieving our mission goals. In
the past year, I have taken advantage of modern communications technology in order to communicate with the community. Our Nixle community
messaging system allows for us to send short, instant messages to our local subscribers. Subscription to this service is easy and free.
Please see the link to Nixle’s website below.
The Columbus Police Department is now on Facebook. This social media forum is just another way that we can inform the community about
who we are and what we are doing.
Of course this website itself is a valuable communications tool. I encourage you to peruse the different pages and links to learn more
about us and the city as a whole.
I look forward to working with the people of Columbus in making this growing city a safe and enjoyable place to live, work, and play.
Your sincere input is welcome. You may contact me by email, phone or in person.
