POLICE DEPARTMENT

Welcome to the City of Oneida Police Department

Chief's Welcome:

As I reflect on the journey we’ve shared as a police department and community, I look ahead to the path before us, and I am filled with an overwhelming sense of pride and optimism.

Each member of the City of Oneida Police Department embodies the dedication, resilience, and spirit that make our department not just a force, but a family.  Together, we have faced challenges head-on, transforming obstacles into opportunities and adversity into growth.

Our community looks to the police department as a beacon of safety, trust, and compassion.  In these times of rapid change, it’s our unwavering commitment to these values that will guide us.  Every act of kindness, every step toward justice, and every effort to engage with our neighbors strengthens the fabric of our community.

The future holds immense promise.  We have the power to help shape it through our actions and our attitudes.  By continuing to support one another, embracing innovation, and staying true to our core principles, we will not only meet the expectations placed upon us but exceed them.

The department is moving forward with confidence, knowing that our dedication makes a profound difference.  The work we do today lays the foundation for a safer, more connected, and more vibrant community tomorrow.  Our members’ courage and professionalism are an inspiration daily.  I am honored to lead such an extraordinary team full of knowledge and talent.

Together, the City of Oneida Police Department will rise to new heights and create a legacy of excellence through service. 

With gratitude and optimism,

Steven Lowell
Chief of Police
