About the Department

The Bayfield Police Department is dedicated to policing with integrality and making our community our priority as we provide law enforcement services to the Town of Bayfield.

The Bayfield Police Department responds to approximately 4500 calls for service yearly with eight officers including the Chief of Police. It is one of the only agencies of its size to employ a school resource officer who can teach or be present in the middle school and high school while also responding to calls. The administrative division serves the department with one civilian staff member supporting operations as well as case management, records disclosure, evidence and services to the public.

The Bayfield police officers are encouraged to develop expertise in specialized areas of law enforcement which can be used for investigations, training and assisting other agencies. On average, they receive 100 training hours per year.

The department supports multiple community events and programs throughout the year.

The agency itself has been awarded several prestigious awards throughout the years.

Police Officers work 11 and 12 hour shifts with paid overtime and on call time. With the exception of the use of their own department approved firearm, deputies are provided all patrol uniforms and duty gear and in most cases a take home patrol vehicle. The town also has excellent benefits.
