About Foster and the Foster Police Department
Foster, is a residential and agricultural town established in 1636 and incorporated in 1781. The town includes the villages of Hopkins Mills, Clayville, Moosup Valley, North Foster, and Mount Vernon and covers 52.2 square miles. The Town has many historic locations including houses, farmsteads, stone walls, roads, and mill ruins. The Police Department is stationed in the historic Aylsworth House c.1874, located in Foster Center. The Town is also famous for the Swamp Meadow Covered Bridge, which is depicted on our police shoulder patch.
The Department is currently comprised of 8 sworn police officers and 6 civilians - a total complement of 14 employees. Over the last year, we have shifted our emphasis from a traditional law enforcement role to a more proactive, community-oriented policing style to better serve our community.
