The Rocky River Police
The Rocky River Police Department consists of thirty-four sworn, full-time officers, including a chief, three lieutenants, four sergeants, three detectives, school resource officers, support staff, and up to fifteen non-sworn auxiliary officers.
We are members of the Westshore Enforcement Bureau, a group of six cities that pool resources for a SWAT team, hazardous devices unit, narcotics task force, and mobile field force. We also have bike patrol units and a marine patrol. We strive to be a community oriented police department, and offer several programs to facilitate that, including an annual Citizen Police Academy.
