Welcome from the Chief

The Champaign Police Department provides high quality service and protection to our community.

With 127 sworn officers and 35 civilian staff, we work hard to serve every resident, business, and visitor. Our goal is to make the community safer, improve quality of life, and prevent crime. We do so through collaboration and proven policing strategies.

Champaign is a growing city with over 88,600 residents and more than 200,000 people in the county. Your involvement is essential to our success. We can’t address our community’s challenges without you!

We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our officers and services. We encourage everyone — both residents and staff — to find ways to build strong partnerships and creating a safer Champaign.

Yours in Safety,

Timothy T. Tyler
Chief of Police
