The members of the Poteau Police Department are
proud to serve the citizens of Poteau and to be
a part of the exciting opportunities in our
city. Our Police Department serves the
community with a sworn force of ? officers
and ?civilian personnel, as well as
maintaining the City's Emergency Management and
9-1-1 programs. The Police Department
budget is in excess of ? million dollars
annually and is the largest budget in the city,
an indication of the commitment by city
leaders toward quality law enforcement
and to public safety. The department provides
communication services to city police, fire and
emergency medical services as well as volunteer
fire departments and law enforcement agencies
throughout all of LeFlore County.
We are structured to support three (3)
different shifts of uniformed patrol operations
and also maintain a Criminal Investigation
Division, a Narcotics Investigation Unit and the
Animal Control/Shelter Service.
The Police Department utilizes a strong
Reserve Officer Program and we are
continually in debt to the men and women of our
community who give freely of their time and
resources to support our mission.
The men and women of the Poteau Police
Department welcome you to Poteau.
Sincerely,
B. J. Smith
