Community Outreach & Services

The Edwardsville Police Department recognizes that education is a valuable tool we can provide for our residents and businesses. The department offers a comprehensive assortment of presentations, camps and classroom opportunities. Because awareness is an essential component of crime prevention, we offer numerous programs created to be presented to community groups by uniformed officers. Other available programs include youth camps and our CItizens Police Academy, which offers adults a hands-on learning experience on law enforcement and criminal justice.
