Message from the Chief

Thank you for visiting the Waterloo Police Department website.  The Waterloo Police Department was founded in 1868.  On this web page you will find out a variety of things detailing the many great units, divisions, and personnel that work for WPD.

Today we are one of the largest agencies in the state with an authorized staff of 124 sworn officers.  This agency has a multitude of job opportunities to include Patrol, Detectives, Crime Lab, Bomb Squad, Tactical Team, K9 Officers, and a variety of other specialty positions.

Our agency is dedicated to serving the 70,000 citizens of Waterloo with a passion for helping people in need.  I am very proud to be a part of this agency for the past 28 years and humbled by being the 29^th Police Chief.
