HISTORY
The Niagara Falls Police Department started as a city police department March 17, 1892.  Prior to that it was a Village of Niagara and Village of Suspension Bridge.  The two departments merged to become one.  

We appear to be limited in the history department but have located several old photos for your enjoyment. Please contact us if you have old photos or history to add.
