The Monticello Police Department is visible. We're responsive and involved in the community. We take great pride in our department and our individual efforts to make Monticello a safe community. A strong, healthy police-community relationship is essential to achieve the level of safety we all want. On many fronts, we provide resources designed to inform citizens about key issues/concerns. In larger communities, Police Departments have made a commitment to youth by employing a School Resource Officer. Our Department understands the importance of protecting and educating our youth, and like those larger communities, we have a School Resource Officer. We want citizens of all ages to feel safe talking with us.

Chief Curt Blount has served the Monticello Police Department for 10 years, four years as Supervisor. The MPD is dedicated to finding ways to be responsive to the community we serve and strengthen our relationship with our citizens.
