Welcome

Welcome to the Sterling Police Department's official website page. It is our desire that the information shared on this website will provide you with a better understanding of the human resources and operational capabilities of our agency. Please take a few minutes to scroll through and learn about our divisions, community programs and all the information we have to offer. 

I am excited and honored to have the privilege to serve as your Chief of Police for the City of Sterling. I am committed to enhancing the quality of life and making for a better prepared city for our residents, workers and visitors.

The Sterling Police Department and its members are an integral part of our community. When you see our officers out in the community, remember they are there for you-enforcing laws, ensuring public safety and responding to those in need.

I believe public safety is a collaborative effort among all members of our community. The police alone cannot control crime and resolve community issues. We continue to enhance our partnerships with those we already have and build collaborations with those we do not. We are committed to making community policing more than just a concept.

As Chief of Police, I understand it is important to implement appropriate policies and procedures to guide our employees. However, I believe it is the people in our organization and the people in our community who make the difference. Our Mission Statement, listed below, clearly shows our focus and priorities.

If we can be of any service to you, please contact us.
Best Regards,

Tyson R. Kerr - Chief of Police
