Note

the current police department in Indianapolis

200 E. Washington St., Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) is the law enforcement agency for the city of Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. Its operational jurisdiction covers all of the consolidated city of Indianapolis and Marion County except for the four excluded cities of Beech Grove, Lawrence, Southport, and Speedway (see Unigov). It was created on January 1, 2007, by consolidating the Indianapolis Police Department and the road division of the Marion County Sheriff's Office. Indianapolis Park Rangers were merged into IMPD in 2009.

Organization

At the time of its formation, the IMPD was headed by the elected sheriff of Marion County, Frank J. Anderson. However, on February 29, 2008, the department came under the control of the mayor of Indianapolis, Greg Ballard, after Ballard and Anderson reached a resolution for the transfer of power and the City-County Council passed Proposal 6 effecting the change. The mayor appoints the Chief of Police to administer the daily operations of the department.

IMPD has six service districts.

Rank structure

The rank structure of the department is as follows:

Weapons

Glock 22 .40 S&W was standard issue and was to be phased out in 2016, but following issues with the Glock 17M, the Glock 22 was put back into service until the issue could be addressed with Glock and the department.
Glock 17M 9mm is the new issue weapon for 2016 and 2017. Currently all sworn officers have been issued the 17M and the Glock 22 has been completely phased out.
Remington 870 Pump Action is the standard issue shotgun for the department. The department also uses a less lethal shotgun for certain situations where deadly force isn't needed but a Taser or pepper spray is ineffective.
AR-15 is the patrol rifle utilized by the officers of the department during intense situations and other situations where a pistol or a shotgun is to little effect. The IMPD uses the Colt CAR-15A3 RO997 (M4A1) as does the agency's SWAT unit.

Fallen officers

Since its creation, four Indianapolis Metropolitan police officers have been killed in the line of duty.
