Or enter a ZIP code on the next page.
06Jurisdiction
Which Agency Serves My Area?
Some areas are covered by more than one agency, such as a city police department and a county sheriff's office. Search your location to see which agencies serve it.
- Inside city limits
- The city or town police department usually responds.
- Outside city limits
- The county sheriff's office usually covers unincorporated areas.
- Highways and statewide
- State police or highway patrol cover highways and support local agencies.
- ZIP codes
- A ZIP code is a mail delivery area. It does not tell you which agency covers an address.
Contract policing and special districts change these patterns in some places, so no tool can promise who has jurisdiction at an exact address. See the agencies that commonly serve your spot.

09Questions
Frequently Asked Questions(6)
What this directory is, where the information comes from, and how to use it.
Is USA Police Stations an official police or government website?
No. It is an independent directory. It is not affiliated with any police agency or government body, and it is not an emergency service.
How do I find the police department for my address?
Search by city, county, or agency name, or start from your state and narrow down. Some areas are served by more than one agency. A ZIP code is a mail delivery area, not a police boundary, so check each agency's own coverage information before relying on it.
Where does the information come from?
Geography comes from the U.S. Census Bureau. Agency names, addresses, phone numbers, and staff counts come from the Bureau of Justice Statistics census of law enforcement agencies, republished by the Department of Homeland Security. Scraped map listings are not used as a source.
Is every record verified?
Not yet. Agency records are imported from federal data that is several years old, and we have not called each agency. Every agency page shows its source and the date the location was last checked. When a fact is missing, it is left blank and never filled in with a guess.
What is the difference between a police department, a sheriff's office, and state police?
A police department serves a city or town. A sheriff's office works at the county level and often covers areas outside city limits, though its duties differ by state. State police and highway patrol agencies cover highways and support local agencies statewide.
What should I do in an emergency?
Call 911. Text to 911 works only in some areas, so call if you can. This site cannot send help or take reports.
