The WMPD deploys personnel from one central headquarters located at 2301 North 7th Street. We actively maintain 3 sub-stations strategically located within the City limits. They are located at the Community Center on Austin Street, Downtown at Pine Street, and on campus at West Monroe High School.
Stepping up to Meet the Challenge
We work interactively with the Metro/DEA Drug Task Force, Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Department and the Monroe Police Department to protect our community with courage and serve with compassion. The City of West Monroe is growing rapidly, and the West Monroe Police Department is growing with it to meet the expanding needs within our community.
