Malvern Police Department
The Malvern Police Department strives to always protect and serve the citizens and visitors in this community from criminal activity, from fear and physical injury, and from “the forces of lawlessness.”
The dedicated men and women on the force put their lives on the line every day to make this town a safer place. It’s often a thankless and extremely dangerous mission, but the officers with the Malvern PD do it anyway because they believe in the mission, and because they know it takes good and brave people to “stand in the gap” between the regular Joe’s and the criminal element.
Our local PD seek to protect Malvern businesses, Malvern citizens, their homes and property, travelers making their way through Malvern on the road to other destinations, and outlying HSC residents coming to town for various appointments or tasks. The patrol the downtown district, the residential neighborhoods, the city parks, and every corner of Malvern in their fight to keep the community safe and assured.
“The Malvern Police Department is committed to improving the quality of life in the City of Malvern by providing exceptionally responsive and efficient public service that promotes the self-sufficiency, well-being, and prosperity of citizens, employees, businesses, and our community,” as quoted from the department’s Organizational Statement. “The city's philosophy of teamwork and collaboration is the foundation of our shared values and our commitment to public service. It is our pledge to always work to earn our public’s trust.”
