Fairfield Police Department (Fairfield, CT)

What Fairfield Police Department (Fairfield, CT) does

The Fairfield Police Department is a municipal law enforcement agency serving the Town of Fairfield, Connecticut — a community of approximately 62,871 year-round residents augmented by more than 11,700 university students. Originally organized in 1930, the department operates with approximately 87-200 personnel (sources conflict), including an estimated 108-112 sworn officers, special agents, telecommunicators, and civilian support staff. It delivers core police services — 911 response, patrol, criminal investigations, and traffic enforcement — alongside a growing portfolio of community-facing programs: an embedded Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Behavioral Health Network, school resource officers, youth diversion programs, and a medication drop box.

The department's technology stack centers on a Computer-Aided Dispatch and Records Management System backbone, supplemented by the Altumint school-zone speed-safety camera system, the Tip411 anonymous tip-submission platform, the Everbridge emergency-notification system, the OfficerTRAK off-duty officer hiring platform, PowerDMS for policy management, and Cognito Forms/Calendly for public-facing intake and scheduling. A public-facing interactive crime dashboard provides transparency on incident activity. The School Zone Speed Safety Program, launching May 2026 with cameras operational since June 2025, represents the department's most significant recent technology deployment.

The department's funding model combines municipal tax appropriations from the Town of Fairfield with transactional fee revenue: speed-camera citations at $50-$75 each, false-alarm fines up to $150, and off-duty officer hire fees of $90 per officer-hour plus a 6.75% administrative surcharge. There is no commercial revenue, no product pricing, and no venture or equity funding — the operating model is a publicly budgeted government service with mandated geographic exclusivity.
