The Rockwell Police Department
became official again on September 1, 2001 at 00:00 hrs. We are now the
primary law enforcement agency for the Town of Rockwell. With
this change brought about our own incident reporting and case
management, criminal investigations, and investigations of the traffic
crashes within our city limits. This is just another way
that we continue our efforts to improve services to you, the citizens
of Rockwell.
