Monroe Police Department

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

Monroe Police serves the city and is separate from the Union County Sheriff’s Office. Both operate in the county-seat area, making the investigating agency’s name important when requesting an incident report or locating the correct office.

How the agency is organized

The municipal staff directory identifies executive leadership, patrol command, special services, supervisory officers and civilian administrative personnel. It separately lists the Records Division at the same West Crowell Street location. No undated employee count is presented as a current staffing statistic.

Agency history and local context

A department founding date was not established in the reviewed official police hub and directory. These sources provide a current contact and organizational snapshot rather than a full institutional chronology.
