A Message from Chief Rutledge
Our goal at the Munford Police Department is to serve the Munford community with respect, integrity, professionalism and dedication. Our desire is to work with the community to provide a secure and safe community. I believe as Romans says that “all authorities that exist are appointed by God and we are to be God’s minister for good” to our community. We see ourselves as guardians of the Munford community by enforcing the law, maintaining order, protecting lives and property and the rights of all people as guided by the Constitution of the United States.
