On behalf of
the entire Aberdeen Police Department I would like to welcome you to
Aberdeen and tell you a little about our organization.
The Aberdeen Police Department is a
community-oriented police organization comprised of 42 commissioned
officers, 8 civilian employees and volunteers. We provide around the
clock services in the city of Aberdeen and on the Northern State University.
Our station is located in the Aberdeen Public Safety
Building at 114 SE 2nd Ave and is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday. Emergency assistance is available through a phone
outside the main door.
We are proud of our fine patrol force,
our D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) programs in the schools, our
Reserve Corps, our Motorcycle and Bicycle Patrol, our SRO (School Resource
Officer), and our Investigations section. Additionally, we proudly
participate in South Dakota’s Child Safety Seat Program (Project 8),
Neighborhood Watch, and National Night Out. But, most of all, we are proud
of our people - the fine men and women who make up our department and who
are keenly dedicated to protecting and serving this outstanding community.
We have a ride-along program whereby you
can spend time in a patrol car observing an officer go about his or her
duties. Our Crime Prevention program offers complimentary security
inspections as well as advice and literature on a variety of crime prevention
and safety subjects. If we can ever be of service to you in these or other
capacities, please don't hesitate to call upon us.
Aberdeen is a very special place to live,
to work, to study, to raise children and to retire. All of us in the
Aberdeen Police Department are committed to work in partnership with you,
our citizens, to preserve and improve our special quality of life.
Welcome to Aberdeen.
Don E. Lanpher, Jr.
Chief of Police
