Dear Guest,

Thank you for visiting the Cold Spring Police Department website. It is our intent to make this website a helpful tool providing you information to answer your questions about the department and its operations and to provide you the ability to contact the department and its officers. My intent is in keeping with the vision of the agency.

"The Cold Spring Police Department vision is to be a partner with the community, striving together to provide proactive solutions to issues to make the city safer and the best place to live and work. The values of integrity, respect, fairness, compassion, loyalty, and the personal courage to do what is right, are of paramount importance in providing those law enforcement solutions to issues to make the city a safe place to work and reside."

The department is moving toward a more community oriented approach in its policing practices. The use of the Neighborhood Focus Program is an important part of community policing. Officers are assigned specific geographical areas and encouraged to interact with those residents and businesses to promote the sharing of information. The establishment of that link between a specific officer and citizen is important to the two-way communication that we are seeking. I believe that the more frequent the communication between officers and citizens, the better informed the two will be. This facilitates a better "quality of life" in the community and a better served public by the department.

I am proud of the officers and personnel that work for this agency. Each brings unique talents and abilities to the city. Take a look at the information on the web site about the officers and take the opportunity to contact them. We look forward to being viewed as a trusted neighbor and friend in the community.

We welcome your suggestions and comments to improve service to you.

If you would like to contact me, my email address is edb@coldspringky.com or the office phone is 859-441-6289.
