Community Outreach Program (C.O.P.)

Our mission is: "To promote positive police Interactions with the community we serve."

In June 2015, members of the Stillwater Police Department came together to set out on a mission to better serve our community with volunteered time and donated dollars. This group’s goal is to engage the citizens of the community we serve and just plain fun. The program has expanded since 2015 and includes all of the area law enforcement agencies that serve the Stillwater Community. We partner with the Payne County Sheriff’s Office, Oklahoma State University Police Department, Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to build closer relationships with our community. We hope you will join us in our journey and assist us in making these programs a reality.

First Responders Night

First Responders Night is our annual opportunity to showcase the people and equipment that serve the public safety needs of Stillwater and Payne County every day of the year. We bring out all the law enforcement agencies as well as our partners at the Stillwater Fire Department, Stillwater Emergency Management, LifeNet and the local air ambulance services. Our goals are to promote involvement in crime prevention and public safety-community partnerships.
