About Us

It is an incredible honor to serve as Chief of Police in a community as strong and supportive as Farmington. Our department is made up of dedicated men and women who come to work each day with one common goal: to keep Farmington a safe and welcoming place to live, work, and raise a family.

Our officers and staff serve around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether responding to emergencies, working with schools, investigating crimes, or connecting with residents at community events, every member of our team is committed to protecting and serving with integrity, compassion, and professionalism.

We recognize that policing is about more than enforcement, it is about building relationships, solving problems together, and earning trust through transparency and accountability. I am proud of the way our department embraces these values and works in partnership with the people of Farmington.

This website is one of the ways we strive to stay connected with you. Here, you’ll find resources, updates, and opportunities to learn more about who we are and the work we do. I encourage you to explore, reach out with questions, and stay engaged.

On behalf of the entire Farmington Police Department, thank you for allowing us the privilege to serve you.

Sincerely,

Chief Nate Siem
