Our officers and employees work very diligently in partnership with Village officials and the Orange Village community to ensure that the Village remains a safe and secure environment in which to live and work. The mission of the Orange Police Department is to achieve excellence in service, protection and enforcement; and to preserve professionalism, integrity, proficiency and education.

Our department provides a number of community related programs to enhance interaction and understanding among the residents which include a neighborhood watch program, Safety Town Program for pre-school children which is scheduled each summer to teach youngsters the importance of general safety, as well as a Juvenile Diversion Program which reaches out to schools and community organizations to help troubled kids get back on the right track.
