Washington Police Department - Police Stations on Waymarking.com

In Washington is the Washington Police Department.

The Washington Police Department is located along Jefferson Street, just west of the railroad crossing and near a water tank.

The department is in a brick building 1 1/2 stories tall, with a peaked, shingled roof. The front entrance is at the center of the building. In front an old jail cell (I think) is on display.

The web site for the department has quite a bit of information, though I didn't find much about the number of calls that they answered. It states that the department serves a community with 16,000 people and an area of 15 square miles. The web site states that they have "a uniformed patrol division, Investigations division, bicycle patrol unit, D.A.R.E. Program, Community Resource Officer and School Resource Officer. Our agency is a member of the Central Illinois Emergency Response Team (C.I.E.R.T.) which is a multi-jurisdictional Special Weapons and Tactics Team (S.W.A.T.)."

There are several other community outreach and citizen police training classes available.

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
