In April of 1971 a resolution by the Town Board formed the Crawford Police Department. The resolution switched the town’s law enforcement from a constabulary to a police department. The Crawford Police Department currently has 27 sworn police officers. (11 full time, 16 part time), 9 civilian support staff, and 9 marked patrol vehicles. Although the population and growth of the Town has been substantial, the Police Department maintains contact with citizens by promoting a community policing policy throughout the department.
