Police

Columbia Falls’ exceptional quality of life is based on a single foundation: When people work together, great things can be accomplished.

The foundation extends to public safety. Crime prevention and enforcement require more than an outstanding police force. It also takes a strong partnership with the citizens and a community that cares.  That partnership makes Columbia Falls a great, safe place to live.

What might not be apparent to most of our customers is the number of city, state and federal laws that the department is responsible for enforcing. Officers respond to calls for service, enhance public safety, provide traffic enforcement, investigate all major and minor crimes, transport prisoners to jail and testify in court.
