The Rochester Police Department is the police agency overseeing the City of Rochester.
History
On December 28, 1819, the first night watch was created in the village of Rochesterville. In 1853, the city's first police chief, Addy Van Slyck, was hired with a salary of $900 per year to oversee the night watch and the constables of the since-incorporated city of Rochester. In 1904, Charles J. Lawrence became the first city traffic policeman. The police force was later re-organized and called the "Metropolitan Police".
Current
The current police chief is David T. Moore, and the Rochester Police Department is comprised of 850 employees.
Volunteer
RPD has several volunteer programs for citizen action against crime, see RPD - Citizen Volunteers for information about the Police and Citizens together Against Crime (PAC TAC) and Community Volunteer Response Team (CVRT) programs.
