About the Mendon Police Department

The Mendon Police Department is privileged to serve the Mendon community to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents and businesses. The low crime rate in Mendon is reflective of the partnership that exists between our department and the community we serve. Working for Mendon is as much about helping people and maintaining and enhancing quality of life as it is about enforcing laws.

The most important quality is character. Candidates are selected on their ability to serve the community and represent the Town of Mendon in a professional, courteous, and honorable manner. If you want to make a difference in someone’s life, including your own, consider the Mendon Police Department as your career choice

Community Programs

Citizens Police Academy: The Citizens Police Academy is held as part of our community policing initiative to provide our citizens with education and information, as well as to create partnerships that benefit the community.

Police Explorers: The post is part of career education for young men and women. The more individuals in the group ask of themselves and another, the greater possibilities they have to reach their goals. It is an experience that can last a life time.

Autism Awareness: For the month of April, our officers will be joining over 130 law enforcement agencies across North America by wearing multi-colored puzzle block style patches on their uniforms to raise awareness for Autism.

Breast Cancer Awareness: The Pink Patch Project is a public awareness campaign designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support breast cancer research organizations in combating this disease.

Coffee with a Cop: Coffee with a Cop brings Mendon Police Officers and the community members they serve together–over coffee–to discuss issues and learn more about each other.

Shop with a Cop: The program pairs police officers with children from the Mendon-Upton Regional School District for the holiday season. Children are given the opportunity to go shopping and pick out clothing, necessities, and other gifts for their loved ones while shopping with a police officer.
