The use of body-worn cameras (BWCs) can help improve police services, increase accountability for individual interactions, and enhance public safety.

The MPD takes all of its missing persons cases seriously and is committed to ensuring that each case receives the same level of police service and exposure. Get statistics about MPD's missing persons cases and view fliers of open cases.

The MPD Online Reporting Tool offers a way for you to make quick reports that do not necessarily require a police officer to witness or take the information from you.

MPD's detectives are some of the best in the world, but we still rely on you to help identify individuals and provide leads in difficult cases.

The outstanding efforts and actions of the MPD's department members are recognized during awards presentations throughout the year at regularly-scheduled crime briefings.

Text tip line messages are monitored by members of the department 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
