The Jeffersontown Police Department employs fifty (50) full time sworn officers and eleven (11) support personnel. The officers have twenty-four hour vehicles, which provide city residents with coverage at all times. This highly trained force provides several special services including the Block Watch Program, House Watch, and D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) just to name a few.

The department completed an eighteen (18) month process in November of 1989 and became the one hundred twenty-seventh (127) police agency among 17,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States to receive national accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. The department had to meet 717 national standards to be accredited. The department was reaccredited in 1994 and again in 1999.

In 1992, the Jeffersontown Police Department was certified to be state accredited by the Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police, becoming the first police department in Kentucky to receive both National and State accreditation.
