About the Oswego
Police Department
The Oswego Police Department
is staffed by 44 full-time officers that serve the citizens of Oswego on a 24-hour basis. In addition to standard emergency
vehicle patrols, the Oswego Police Department maintains footbeat patrols, bicycle patrols, and watercraft patrols to "protect
and serve" the community. In November 2007, the Oswego Police Department used
grant money to purchase a optical license plate reader.
According to an article
in the Lake Courant News, “The City of Oswego Police Department has been concerned with the number of officers it has
been losing. The department has not only been losing officers to retirement but also to the lack of desire of officers to
conform to the residency requirement.”
