The Saint Paul Way
The Saint Paul Police Department is a national leader in transforming public safety for a more just and peaceful future.
From our founding as one of the nation's first police departments, to our groundbreaking 1999 partnership with the Saint Paul NAACP, to today's innovative approach to community-first response, SPPD consistently drives law enforcement forward.
In 2017, we published a detailed report about how we're evolving to serve all our City's people better. We also share our policy handbook with the public, so you can see the guidelines that govern our work.
Who We Are
Since 1854, the people of the Saint Paul Police Department have protected public safety in Minnesota’s capital city. More than 500 sworn officers and 100 professional staff work to serve everyone who lives, works, and visits Saint Paul. It is our mission to justly serve our community, with courage, honor, and respect, to create peace and public safety for all.
