I would like to
welcome you to the website of the La Porte Police Department. You will find a
lot of information about our police department and also information that I hope
will answer your questions and inform you on matters that involve the police department.
In our website you
will find in more detail what services we have to offer to our citizens. You
will find crime prevention tips to help protect yourself. If you need a speaker
for your group or classroom, we have officers trained in various specializations
as well as they can speak to you on law enforcement in general.
We are to here help
you and we would ask you to help us. Besides calling us with tips, information
to assist in solving the crimes and reporting crimes to us, we have other opportunities
in which you as a citizen can help us. Depending on your age, we have
volunteers that work with us in the form of Law Enforcement Explorers (14 to 20
year olds), as Reserve Officers(21 year-old and
older), and in our Neighborhood Watch organization. Our website will give you
the information to guide you into that direction.
We hold Citizen
Police Academies to better educate you about us and show you how you as a
citizen can better assist us in protecting you.
You might also
consider a career in law enforcement. We have a Recruiting section to help you
if you have ever considered law enforcement as a career.
If you have
questions, concerns or comments, please free to contact us by phone or mail.
Thank you for visiting our website.
Terry Scherer
Chief of Police
