Chief's Message:
It is my mission as the Chief of Police to serve the City of Byron with the highest quality police service. I strongly believe in community-oriented policing which requires citizen involvement to identify and help solve problems within the community to keep you, your family, and our community safe. Many people are reluctant to call for simple calls such as barking dogs, parking complaints, or loud music. We do not view our callers as a bother. If it is of concern to you, please let us know. I pledge, as your Chief of Police and on behalf of all of the officers of the Byron Police Department, that we will work to enhance the quality of life for all residents by ensuring the public's safety within the City of Byron. Law enforcement isn't a job or career, it's a way of life; and, serving and protecting is our most important goal. Our greatest asset is our personnel; our greatest strength is our partnership with the community.
Respectfully,
Chief Jeremy Boehle
