The Huntsville Police Department was established in 1985.  The department strives to protect our citizens and maintain a safe community in which to live. The officers and staff serve the community by monitoring traffic, enforcing federal, state, and local laws, investigating crimes, responding to emergencies, and educating the public.

     The department is commanded by Police Chief, Todd Thomas. Thomas joined the department in 1998 as a patrolman. He was appointed to the position of Captain in 2011 and appointed as Chief in 2014. The department employs 9 full-time, uniformed officers and 2 office staff members.

     The Huntsville Police Department relocated to the historic Hargis building located at 200 E. Main St, just off of the downtown square in 2016. The building has been remodeled to suit the needs of the department. Future plans include a small museum in the front of the building to display local law enforcement memorabilia.
