On behalf of the entire staff of the Mobridge Police Department, I would like to welcome you to Mobridge and tell you about our organization.

The Mobridge Police Department is a community-oriented policing organization with seven full-time sworn police officers and one part-time sworn police officer/code enforcement officer. We also employ six full-time certified communications officers in our nine-county North Central Regional E911 - Mobridge Communications Center, which operates under the Mobridge Police Department. The Comm Center also employs one part-time E911 Coordinator.

The Mobridge Police Department provides 24-hour coverage for the City of Mobridge and our officers are also sworn as Walworth County Special Deputy Sheriffs for the ability to respond anywhere within Walworth County, if needed. We are very proud of our close working relationship with the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office, the South Dakota Highway Patrol, and other law enforcement agencies in the area.

The Mobridge Police Department is located at our Law Enforcement Center at 110 1st Avenue East and the front public entrance is open 24 hours a day. We encourage the public to come and tour the Mobridge Police Department.

The Mobridge Police Department is here to serve you and if we can ever be of service to you, please don’t hesitate to contact us. If you are interested in a career in law enforcement or becoming a communications officer, please contact me at 845-5000.

I have always said that Mobridge is the best kept secret in South Dakota as I believe it is a wonderful place to live and work. And, as this secret becomes known to more and more people due to the City's expansion and growth, the Mobridge Police Department is committed to building partnerships with all ages of our citizens to help make Mobridge an even better place to live. The staff and I pledge to serve and protect you to the best of our ability.

Welcome to Mobridge!
