Police

Thank you for your interest in the Noblesville Police Department.

To accomplish our mission, our department has implemented a variety of progressive and community-oriented tactics to help improve the quality of life for the citizens we serve.

Our community-oriented policing tactics are used to assist Noblesville residents with issues that are not solved by traditional police responses and resources. These issues are generally considered “quality of life issues” and are usually resolved by coordinated responses by the Noblesville Planning Department Code Enforcement Officers as well as the Noblesville Police Department Community Service Officers who bring on-going or repetitive problems to a permanent resolution using tools beyond infraction/ordinance citations and criminal charges.

We strive to make Noblesville the best community for all residents. If you are experiencing a problem or issue between friends, neighbors, family, or other residents, please feel free to get into contact with our department for resolutions.

The Noblesville Police Department understands the importance of creating partnerships with our local businesses. We have designed the Business Watch Program to provide that direct line of communication between the department and businesses necessary to keep our city safe and provide important training to your employers.

A coordinated approach to public health & safety

The challenges facing first responders are rapidly changing. By adopting new techniques like paramedicine, establishing partnerships and processes to ensure mental health and addiction treatment and follow-up, and partnering with Noblesville Schools to proactively protect children, the Noblesville community can build public safety agencies that have the organization, staffing, training and leadership in place they need to prevent and respond to new public health and safety challenges.
