A big thank you to Bullseye Fence for supporting the Zionsville Police Department and our commitment to keeping our officers prepared and ready to serve.

Bullseye Fence recently built a fence obstacle for the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy Physical Fitness Test, giving our officers a quality obstacle to use as part of their training and physical preparedness.

Physical fitness and ongoing training are important parts of maintaining a professional, capable, and ready police department. Our officers face a wide variety of challenges in the field, and we want to make sure they have the skills, conditioning, and confidence to meet those challenges when called upon.

Thank you, Bullseye Fence, for your partnership and support of ZPD!

Thank you to AMORE PIZZERIA RISTORANTE for sharing Autumn’s story and recognizing Officer Heffner and Rapala for their efforts. We’re glad this little one is safe and healthy!

A big thank-you to the Zionsville Police, and to Officers Hefner and Rapala. 💙
Late at night, in the dark and the rain, they rescued this 4-week-old girl from a storm drain 7 feet down. The mark on her nose is from the fall, but she's been seen by a vet and she's in good health.
We're keeping her. Meet Autumn. 🍂🐾 Zionsville Police Department

Building on the REACH Program: Introducing Hope Kits

A Zionsville Police Department response doesn’t always end when the call is over.

The Zionsville Police Department’s REACH Unit — Resources, Evaluating, Assisting in Community Health — helps connect individuals with behavioral health, mental health, substance-use, and other community resources when they need support beyond the initial police response.

A big part of REACH is the follow-up. Our team stays connected with individuals, provides resources, and helps them navigate available services and support.

We’re excited to announce partnership with the Boone County Health Department through a grant awarded to support our REACH program. One of the first projects made possible through this partnership is the creation of Hope Kits.

Hope Kits are small bags filled with practical, stress-relieving items such as stress balls, coloring books, and other tools that can provide some immediate relief during stressful moments. Our REACH team will provide these kits during follow-up visits, along with our packet of community resources.

The idea is simple: sometimes a conversation is easier to start when you have something tangible to put in someone’s hands.

We hope these kits will provide an immediate tool for managing stress while also creating an opportunity to talk about the resources and support available to each individual.

We’re grateful to the Boone County Health Department for partnering with us and helping us continue to find new ways to support the people we serve.

Your feedback matters.

As part of the Zionsville Police Department’s CALEA accreditation process, community members are invited to share comments, commendations, or other information regarding the quality of service provided by our agency.

Visit the CALEA Public Access Portal to submit your feedback: https://cimrs2.calea.org/1058

Here are some key points about the CALEA accreditation process and its importance:

1. Purpose of CALEA: The CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) accreditation is designed to improve public safety service delivery by establishing standards and best practices that agencies must meet. It emphasizes accountability, transparency, and professionalism.

2. Accreditation Process: To achieve accreditation, the Zionsville Police Department must demonstrate compliance with over 180 professional standards that cover various aspects of law enforcement, including policies, procedures, and operational practices. This involves a thorough self-assessment and an external review by CALEA assessors.

3. Benefits: CALEA accreditation enhances the department's credibility, fosters community trust, and improves overall operational efficiency. It can also lead to better training for officers and increased opportunities for grants and funding.

4. Continuous Improvement: Accreditation is not a one-time achievement. Agencies must undergo periodic reviews to maintain their accredited status, ensuring they continually meet evolving standards and best practices in law enforcement.

5. Community Impact: The accreditation process often involves community input, allowing residents to engage with the department and provide feedback on policies and services. This helps strengthen the relationship between the police and the community they serve. The public access portal is now available for public comment.

Today, we proudly recognize and honor the five women police officers who serve at our agency. Each of these incredible women plays an instrumental role in our department and in the community we are privileged to serve.

They lead by example, serve with honor, integrity, compassion, and respect, and continually strive to make a positive difference in the lives of others. They are not only police officers; they are mentors, leaders, advocates, problem-solvers, and role models for the young women and girls watching them.

Law enforcement continues to evolve, and women are an essential part of that future. We are committed to building an agency that reflects the community we serve, creating opportunities for women to lead, and encouraging the next generation to see law enforcement as a career where they can make a meaningful difference.

To the women who wear the badge; Thank You! Thank you for your courage, dedication, strength, and the sacrifices you make every day. Thank you for breaking barriers, opening doors, and showing others what is possible.

And to the young women in our community who may be considering a career in law enforcement; we see you, we believe in you, and there is a place for you in this profession!
