Now with an authorized strength of over 835 commissioned officers as well as over 250 civilian members, the department is divided into four divisions, each with a special role to play in our daily mission: To Serve and Protect the citizens and visitors of St. Louis County.
  CALEA Re-Accreditation
St. Louis County Police Department first obtained CALEA accreditation in 1998. Now it is only one of a handful of departments in the United States to have all three accreditations available, for the department, for the St. Louis County and Municipal Police Academy, and for the St. Louis County Bureau of Communications. This page explains the process and the value of this accreditation to the Department and the community.
