The Pikeville Police Department was formed in 1931. The department originally consisted of only six (6) police officers. In the 1950's the total of sworn officers reached double digits. In the 1960's, the department was organized into a modern structure of policing and issued it's first official uniform. In the 1970's the department was utilizing professional training and equipment. In the 1990's we moved into a new station located on the corner of Hambley Blvd. and Division St. which we reside in at the present. Today we have twenty-two (22) officers that are well trained through the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT), we also have graduates from specialized training such as the Academy of Police Supervision, Criminal Justice Executive Development, and the FBI National Academy. |
