The Plainville Police Department is a full-service police department consisting of 38 full-time employees. The functional units of the Department include Administrative, Patrol, Criminal Investigation, Traffic, Records and Youth Services. In addition to traditional patrol functions, the Department also has bicycle patrols and an all-terrain vehicle patrol covering the more remote areas of town.

The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program is given to all fifth grade elementary school children by the Department's two D.A.R.E. officers. The Department maintains a close interaction with all of the public schools, offering safety education and, particularly for high school students, special programs on alcohol abuse and driver safety.

Because police personnel are the only representatives of municipal government available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, the Department handles a wide variety of calls for service which are non-criminal in nature. Calls for information or non-traditional help are always welcome, and the staff is well-trained on what community resources are available to those in need of special service.
