Our Mission
“As the Chief of Police, I promise our police department’s mission and our officer’s mission, is to defend, protect, and serve the quality of life in the City of Cottleville for our residents, businesses, churches and visitors.
On behalf of the men and women of the Cottleville Police Department, it is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to our virtual home. Please take time to explore our website and please let me know if there is anything the Cottleville Police Department can do to serve you.”
To ensure the most effective response from the Cottleville Police Department, we strongly encourage residents to report issues at the time of occurrence such as but not limited to noise complaints, golf cart violations, fireworks violations and other misconduct, etc—or as soon as safely possible—by calling the 24-hour non-emergency dispatch line at 636-939-9966. For emergencies please continue to call 911! Delaying reports by hours or days, emailing or posting concerns to social media, will not result in timely police response or resolution of an issue. Dispatchers need real-time information in order to properly log, route, and prioritize calls for service.

Resident Camera Program
Do you currently utilize video surveillance at your home or business? If you do, the Cottleville Police Department could use your help! The Cottleville Police Department has implemented a voluntary Camera Registration Program. This program will allow residents and business owners to register their address allowing the Cottleville Police to know about locations of nearby video systems. Video surveillance footage is one of the best methods to identify and convict suspects. If a crime was to occur near a registered resident or business owners system, it may have captured the incident. Reviewing the video footage and imagery could possibly provide information leading to an identification and arrest of a suspect. Registering for this program is 100 percent voluntary and does not give the Cottleville Police Department access to your camera system. If you would like to join our program, please complete the Cottleville Resident Camera Program Registration Form. Registrants can always choose to withdraw from the program at any time by calling the Cottleville Police Department at 636-498-6464.
Police Department Employment
Please Complete the CPD Employment Application Packet (including all required documents) and submit the completed packet in person at the Police Dept. during normal business hours of 9 am – 5 pm.
