Bloomington Police Department (BPD)

Dedicated to our community

Due to the large number of requests, we are unable to supply police patches to individual collectors or departments.

The men and women, sworn and civilian alike, of the Bloomington Police Department are dedicated, professional, caring individuals who deserve endless praise and thanks. Bloomington's future is bright because of the service they give to our community.

On behalf of all our employees, I would like to welcome you to our Web site. I trust that you will find the information provided to be useful and informative. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, comments or suggestions regarding our site.
