Welcome Message from Chief Matthew Peters

Welcome. The 14 sworn officers and 11 civilian employees of the Saint Peter Police Department are all highly competent, dedicated and committed women and men who strive to meet the service demands of over 10,200 citizens, a population that is growing. The City of Saint Peter is located in the Minnesota River Valley, about 60 miles south of the greater Minneapolis/Saint Paul metropolitan area. A pleasant, warm climate (in the summer!) and strong economy are the primary features that serve to attract increasing numbers of people to Saint Peter. Growth presents both challenges and opportunities as we move through the 21st century.

It is rewarding and challenging for the members of the Saint Peter Police Department to serve our citizens. In so doing, we believe in CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES, ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE, and A POLICE/COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP.

As you move through our World Wide Web site, you will learn about programs that foster and support the philosophy of Saint Peter, about programs to involve and encourage citizen involvement, about career opportunities, and about a police department with compassion for both victims of crime and police employees. Browse and enjoy. Call us with your questions. Come back and visit us again. Be safe.
