Alexandria Police Department

What Alexandria Police Department does

The Alexandria Police Department (APD) is the primary municipal law enforcement agency for the City of Alexandria, Louisiana, operating under the City of Alexandria government and headquartered at 1000 Bolton Avenue. It serves Alexandria residents and businesses across three operational divisions — Field Services, Criminal Investigations, and Internal Affairs — supported by sub-units including Uniform Patrol, Traffic, Narcotics, Juvenile Division, Warrant Division, Sex Offender Compliance, Records, and an in-house Police Academy. The department delivers 24/7 emergency response (911), criminal investigations, warrant service, records management, traffic enforcement, SWAT and crisis-negotiation capabilities, and community policing programs. The current chief is Chad Gremillion.

APD's operational technology centers on computerized warrant databases with 24/7 hit confirmation, a computerized alarm billing and tracking system, and the Alex-Cam Connect voluntary security camera registration network operated jointly with SafeAlex, which links private camera owners to APD for faster crime-scene evidence retrieval. The department integrates with external platforms including the Crime Stoppers P3 Tipster App (anonymous tips with cash rewards), Offender Watch (sex-offender registry), Vinelink/Vine (state inmate location), and LAVNS (Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System). Community-facing programs include mandatory Alarm Registration, Neighborhood Watch coordination, multi-jurisdictional D.A.R.E. drug-education (joint with Pineville PD and Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office), and the Louisiana Safe Haven newborn relinquishment program.

APD is funded through City of Alexandria tax revenues and municipal appropriations rather than commercial revenue. Auxiliary revenue streams include a $20 one-time alarm permit fee, escalating false-alarm fines (up to $100 per incident after the tenth false alarm, with permit revocation thereafter), and unit-priced public records fees ($10 accident reports, $10 fingerprint cards, $20 certified copies). The department is currently recruiting POST-certified officers under a $25,000 hiring incentive with up to four years of lateral pay credit, indicating active headcount expansion.
