Welcome to the Oneonta Police Department

"It is the mission of the Oneonta Police Department to provide professional services with integrity and dedication, to preserve life, to enforce the law, and to work in partnership with the community to enhance the quality of life in the City of Oneonta"

This is an exciting time for the Oneonta Police Department.  Our goals continue to be to make Oneonta a safer city for all our residents, college students and many visitors, reduce crime, and work in partnership with the community.

To achieve this goal we have incorporated some of the newest technology available in law enforcement combined with traditional policing aimed towards building a better relationship with those we serve.

One of the many tools we use to provide information and help educate our community members is this website.  Our core value is to strive for "quality through continuous improvement."  We will continue to improve this site by making it easier to navigate, keeping it updated and keeping it relevant.

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your visit to our site.  You can also visit the Oneonta Police Department on .
