A Message from the Chief of Police

The Village of Lindenhurst Police Department originally consisted of a group of volunteers, with the first full-time police officer position being added in 1963. Currently, the Lindenhurst Police Department serves a community population of just over 14,400 residents. We have designed this portion of our website to provide relevant and useful information regarding our organization and the services we provide. As a department, we are committed to building and maintaining public trust while partnering with the community to make Lindenhurst a safer place to live and work. The Lindenhurst Police Department will always strive to be open and transparent and work hand-in-hand with the community to ensure our citizens are heard and valued.
