We provide municipal policing services to our approximately 5,000 residents and our success comes from the strong partnership we have built with the community.

Public safety is our top priority, and the men and women of the Highlands Police Department strive to provide exceptional services while maintaining a high level of integrity. Our officers are highly motivated, well trained professionals who work diligently to keep Highlands safe and enjoyable.

I am extremely proud of our department and all its members and I hope you enjoy visiting our website. Your input and suggestions are appreciated as they can help improve the services provided to the community.
