The Brinkley Police Department was housed inside Brinkley City Hall from 1963 until construction of the new jail facility. Community support and strong leadership from Brinkley Police Chief, Ed Randle made the state-of-the art jail a possibility. The department currently operates with 9 police officers and plans to add one more.
The addition of SUVs to the department in school colors of black and gold has been well received by the community. Mutual respect between the Brinkley Police department and citizens of Brinkley make a safe community with a low crime rate.
