Social Media Policy: http://www.lakewood.org/socialmedia The Lakewood Police Department has a national reputation for excellence; however; it is our police Agents make a positive difference in the lives of our residents and the safety of our community. In 1969, an unincorporated area of Jefferson County officially became the City of Lakewood - the fourth-largest city in Colorado. The Lakewood Department of Public Safety became operational on May 3, 1970, and in 1987, the name was changed to the Lakewood Police Department. The new department predictably experienced growing pains but continued solid development under the leadership of seven police administrations. At this writing in 2020, the eighth and current Chief of Police, Daniel McCasky, and a command staff of two Division Chiefs, Anita Koester and Ed Loar; lead a department of more than 400 employees and 100-plus volunteers. The department has relocated several times through the decades. In 1984, it moved to its permanent site at 445 S. Allison Pkwy. Since 1970, the motto "Integrity, Intelligence, Initiative" has defined the way the department does business. The goal of every employee is to serve the citizens of Lakewood with the highest level of commitment. In 1986, the Lakewood Police Department was the second agency in Colorado - and the 24th in the nation - to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). To maintain this accreditation, the department is required to meet more than 479 nationally recognized law enforcement standards every four years with an onsite assessment being conducted annually. We hope to earn our 11th CALEA accreditation in 2021. A career with the Lakewood Police Department offers meaningful work, a chance to make a difference in the community, lifelong friendships and the excitement of a career full of changing and unique, challenging experiences.
