At the Meridian Police Department, we place a huge emphasis on our culture, which is a culture of family, excellence, and taking care of the little things. This is how we treat one another within the walls of our department, and we believe this carries over into how we police in our community.

​

We have a firm belief when you are hired here, you become one of the family the day you walk through the door. This goes for professional staff as well as sworn personnel. We realize we are all a part of a great effort to keep Meridian a safe and vibrant city. Each division, section, and individual is critical to accomplish our department's mission: To provide the highest quality of service, in partnership with our community, to preserve and protect life and property through education, prevention and enforcement.
