On December 2, 2013, the Lake Forest Park Police Department conducted its first holiday traffic safety emphasis patrol utilizing funds from two Traffic Safety Grants. During the emphasis, a total of 22 vehicles were stopped, two of which were DUI’s.

The City of Lake Forest Park has recently received two Traffic Safety Grants from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. Both grants provide funding for officers to work overtime in support of Target Zero, which is the State’s strategic plan to eliminate traffic related fatalities.

It is the mission of the Police Department to consistently seek and find ways to affirmatively promote, preserve, and deliver those quality services which enhance the security and safety in our community. To support this mission, we will work in strong partnership with the community.
