Police Department
Welcome to the website of the Ferndale Police Department
Thank you Ferndale! Our grand opening was a huge success. We enjoyed greeting old friends and meeting new ones, and proudly showing you around your new police facility! We truly appreciate all the support we receive from this great community.
Please spend some time exploring our website and its many informative and useful features, including tips on preparing your home and family to survive a natural disaster or other emergency. You may also use this website to find out about police activity in your neighborhood or download forms for a Concealed Pistol License or security check of your home or business while you are out of town. Please contact us if we can assist you in any of these areas.
It is our mission to protect life and property and to provide extraordinary public service to our growing residential, business and industrial population. All of our employees work hard each day to accomplish our mission. The Police Department works closely and collaboratively with our community in maintaining the high quality of life enjoyed by the residents of one of Washington’s most attractive rural cities.
