A Message from Chief Mullen
On behalf of the men and women of the Charleston Police Department, welcome to our official website. You can utilize this important resource to learn many things about the Charleston Police Department and what it has to offer. You will also find information on how to get involved and make your neighborhood a safer, more enjoyable place to live.
With a diverse and comprehensive policing strategy firmly in place, all of our activities are aimed at just one goal: making the City of Charleston a better and safer place for the millions of people who live, work, or visit here. Our policing strategy is about working with communities to prevent crime; not just to catch the criminals once a crime has occurred.
To this end, we are continually striving to build improved relationships with all of the many communities that we serve. The very best relationships are built on understanding and communication, and it is the aim of this web site to help you understand our police department and its commitment to enhancing the quality of life in this wonderful city.
It's also a top priority to understand what's on your mind as well. Therefore, we will also be utilizing this communication tool to seek your feedback and thoughts regarding important issues that impact your safety and the service that we provide to you. On a continual basis, we will add new areas and resources to this site, so we encourage you to visit us here often. Explore the links in this site to learn more about how you can get involved to help make each and every neighborhood in our city a great place to live, work, and visit.
