Suquamish Police

The Suquamish Police Department Patrol Division provides services to all residents living on the Port Madison Indian Reservation.

The Patrol Division of the Suquamish Police Department is the most visible part of the Police Department. The men and women of the Suquamish Police provide 24 hours a day, 365 days a year Law Enforcement service to a population of just over 7100 permanent Native and Non-Native residents.

The Suquamish Police Department responds to approximately 11,000 incidents a year. The men and women of the Suquamish Police department also respond to assist neighboring Police Departments.
