How We Work
The Chesterfield County Police Department is organized into functional
command areas. This provides divisions that are manageable in terms of
size while structuring teams that are staffed with suitable levels of
expertise. With the reintroduction of community policing in our neighborhoods
and schools, this structure staffs our bureaus, divisions and sections
with experienced personnel attuned to the unique demands of their areas
of responsibility.
