Welcome to the Ruston Police Department on the internet. Through this web site, we will try to assist you with readily available information. Hopefully, you will find this information helpful and will learn more about our department’s organization and programs

It is the goal of the Ruston Police Department to serve the Ruston community through professional attention and response, deterrence and prevention of crime, enforcement of the law, the preservation of peace and order thereby reducing fear by providing a safe environment in which to live.

The Ruston Police Department consists of 50 employees, 41 of which are sworn, commissioned full time police officers. The remaining personnel are assigned as communications and support staff. Additionally, we have a very active and trained staff of Reserve Officers.

Our police department is divided into several smaller divisions. We also have several special projects and programs. Some of our programs are short-term, while others continue on a regular basis. All of these divisions, projects and programs work together and compliment each other so that we can provide the best service possible to the citizens of our community.
