Madison Police Department

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

Madison Police is the Town of Madison’s full-service municipal department in Rockingham County. Its officers respond to calls, investigate reported offenses, enforce traffic laws and support safety within the town. Madison and neighboring Mayodan maintain separately identified police departments.

How the agency is organized

The town describes administrative, patrol, criminal-investigative and records functions, together with school-resource and civilian animal-control roles. Patrol responsibilities include neighborhood and business checks, crash investigations, event traffic control and escorts. Investigators follow up criminal reports and conduct drug investigations with other agencies. The Records Specialist maintains data from patrol and investigative reports and assists with retrieval.

Official records and officer resources

Accident and other police reports may be requested through public@townofmadison.org. The official page also provides police employment information and invites residents to ask about organizing Community Watch groups. Current application requirements and vacancies should be checked with the town; undated staffing totals are not treated as a dated workforce census.
