The Menands Police Department has been in existence since shortly after the incorporation of the Village of Menands. Since its formation in 1924 it has served the Village with the utmost vigilance, integrity and commitment. The Department is comprised of 10 full time police officers including it’s Chief of Police.
As a modern police agency, our Department is equipped with up to date technological equipment to assist it in the accomplishment of its regular duties. Our fleet of police cruisers and support vehicles is upgraded on an annual basis and enables our officers to perform their required duties regardless of road or weather conditions.
In its history, the Menands Police Department has been headed by 6 Chiefs of Police, including its current Chief, Michael O’Brien, a former First Sergeant of State Police in Loudonville, New York. Since 1924, total of 37 Officers have served our Village and have added to both the quality of life and the security and safety of our citizens.
