Police Department

The Canandaigua Police Department has been in operation since around 1913. Since that time the Police Department has been ever evolving into the full service Law Enforcement Organization that is seen today. The Police Department stands ready to respond to and handle all types of criminal and catastrophic events. The Canandaigua Police Department has working arrangements with the Ontario County Sheriff's Office, Geneva Police Department and the New York State Police, if additional manpower or expertise is needed. The men and women of the Canandaigua Police Department stand ready to assist the residents, visitors, and business owners in protecting life and property.

Please take some time and browse the Department's website for valuable information regarding local laws, Department Services and the organizational structure of the Police Department. Please feel free to contact the Chief of Police if you have any suggestions for improving the website.
