Newport Police Department

The Newport Police Department is the only Full-Time Police Department inside of Orleans County. At minimum there are two Officers on per shift and they work rotating 12-hour shifts with every other weekend off. We offer ample opportunity for over-time as we take part in Operation Stonegarden to include roving patrols, marine patrols, ATV patrols, and snowmobile patrols. We also are active with speed and DUI enforcement patrols.

We actively participate in the SIU (Sexual Investigation Unit) Program, the NVDTF (Northern Vermont Drug Task Force), have an established K-9 Program, and SRO (School Resource Officer) Program. Our Officers far exceed the minimum training requirements as we have a heavy emphasis on high quality training.
