The Bloomfield Police Department is committed to

community engagement and our goal is to work with

our residents to ensure we continue to grow

TOGETHER and provide a safe place to live and work.

It is more than just policing, it is about family.

The Bloomfield Police Department and Interim Chief

Matthews worked with the community to bring in

new programs, such as; Coffee With a Cop,

Neighborhood Watch, #9PMRoutine, Party in the

Park with the Police, Citizen’s Police Academy,

“Stopped by” cards, and the STOPit App.

crime prevention and safety information activities for

The Police Athletic League (PAL) hosts several annual

events that is open to residents of San Juan County and

they include:

This program allows employees of Bloomfield to receive training for their positions, as well as promotions, and will cover up to 75% of training and material costs.

Since the inception of the program, the Bloomfield Police Department has or will have received over $60,000 in assistance funds from Work Force Solutions/SER-Jobs for Progress.

Retention Bonus

SummaryAn annual Retention Bonus was proposed for all certified officers after each completed year of service. For each year of service, the officers will receive a $500 Retention Bonus that will cap out at $2500 per year for the officer.

It is the hope of Interim Chief Matthews that this will incentivize our current staff to continue to work for the Bloomfield Police Department and not be persuaded to leave for higher paying positions at other departments.

Anticipated Retention Bonus payout for 2018/2019 for current certified officers would be: $17,500.

The cost to replace an officer with a non-certified officer is $75,077 for the first 10 months of academy and FTO.

The cost to replace one officer with a lateral certified officer is $11,028.

ChiefThank You from the

All we have done in the past 6-months would not have been possible without the support

and dedication from our community and staff. TOGETHER, we were able to implement

so many great programs that help our city.

I would also like to take this time to say a special thank you to the men and women who

have worked overtime to make sure those community programs are successful.
