since1865

 In 1826, the city was 746 feet wide and 1,800 feet long. Since that time, London has grown rapidly and so has the London Police Department.

Today, the London Police Department is staffed by 38 police officers and civilian personnel. The law enforcement agency was one of the first police departments in the state of Kentucky to be certified as an Accredited Law Enforcement Agency.
