Message from the Chief of Police

Gary Copeland, Chief of PoliceWelcome to Springhill Police Service’s official web site. As we enter the new millennium, we can reflect upon the many changes the world has gone through. From technology, computerization and scientific accomplishments, we, as a society, have developed accordingly, parallel to our discoveries. The Springhill Police Service has been engaged in a constant exercise of change. We have evolved from a one man police department in the 1889, to a dynamic, multi-functional agency, with eleven sworn members. We have accomplished and maintained an excellent relationship with our community, and have maintained a readiness and willingness to help.

The Technology and power of the World Wide Web is a natural complement to the community policing philosophy of the Springhill Police Service. We strive to keep pace with emerging programs and methods that will help us maintain a high quality of life in Springhill. We pledge to keep our Citizens and Visitors informed through this exciting medium.

Community policing is a partnership between the Citizens of Springhill, and its police service. That partnership becomes increasingly stronger utilizing every opportunity we can to help our citizens understand how our Service works. Through the use of this technology, our goal is to enhance programs and services that achieve the high quality of life Springhill enjoys. As an example, through an innovative arrangement with the private sector, we now offer individuals the ability to order criminal record checks online. Online Ordering of Criminal Record Checks.html

Robert Kennedy once said "Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on." This is why the members of the Springhill Police Service are of the finest caliber. We are committed to our mission, which is to PROTECT, SERVE, AND INTERACT WITH THE COMMUNITY.
