About Our Department

Rooted in Exira,
Committed to You

The Exira Police Department isn't just a place of work for our officers — it's home. We live here, shop here, and send our kids to the same schools as you. That personal connection shapes everything we do.

Founded in 1877, our department has evolved alongside the community we serve. What hasn't changed is our commitment: to protect every resident, uphold the law with fairness, and treat every person with the dignity a small town deserves.

In a community where everyone knows everyone, accountability isn't a policy — it's a way of life. Our officers are approachable, our doors are always open, and our priority is the safety and well-being of Exira.
