SERVING OUR COMMUNITY

The City of New London is a small vibrant city that offers a unique range of cultural, historical, recreational, and educational amenities that make the city a wonderful place to live and work. The city contains a variety of commercial areas combined with a collection of intimate residential neighborhoods, a lively downtown, and a revitalized waterfront. Concentrated in a compact area of approximately six square miles with a population of slightly more than 25,000 residents, the city contains an extraordinary variety of attractions.

NLPD is a full-service police agency with career opportunities to satisfy a variety of interests. Some officers love serving their community as patrol officers on the streets, but it's also not unusual for an officer at NLPD to move into a specialty position early in their career.

Whether it’s solving tough cases as a detective, engaging the community as a member of the bike patrol, working with a four-legged partner as a canine officer, or contributing to the department’s mission in one of our many other specialties, you’ll be part of a team that can handle any of our community’s law enforcement needs.
