Welcome to the St. Francis Police Department web site. The goal of the site is to continue to keep the citizens of St. Francis and the surrounding areas informed of vital information.
The St. Francis Police Department was established in 1961 and was located at 2417 E. St. Francis Ave. The force was comprised of seven officers including the Chief who were responsible for protecting and serving the area previously known as the Town of Lake . Our northern boundary is commonly referred to as Bay View with the City of Cudahy bordering us to the south, and Lake Michigan to the east.
Currently, our department is comprised of twenty one sworn officers covering three shifts. The administrative staff includes the Chief of Police, Captain of Police, and Lieutenant of Police; three Sergeants supervise patrol duties as well as two investigative positions.
We have seven civilian employees who are responsible for communications and clerical duties. Our volunteer auxiliary unit helps to supplement our personnel in coverage of special events throughout the year.
