Protect Yourself and Your PropertyAll of us can remember a time when you could leave your house and car unlocked and even leave the keys in the ignition. Sad to say, those days are gone.
Eaton Police Department has the following recommendations for residents when it comes to their personal property: 1. Lock all of your doors, both when gone and at home. 2. Do not leave your car unlocked. Make sure you remove personal items from view and place them in the trunk of your vehicle. 3. Close your garage door. An open door invites your property to be stolen. 4. When going on vacation, notify the police department. We will check your property daily. 5. Notify the police immediately, if you see someone hanging around your neighborhood that you don't know. 6. Never feel that you are bothering us by calling in a suspicious person or vehicle. We have officers on duty 24 hours a day. Just because we live in a smaller city doesn't mean that we are immune from crime. Together we can make Eaton a safer place to live. Officers Available for Speaking EngagementsEaton Police Officers are available to speak to your service club or organization. Officers will be glad to present a program to inform you about the police department, our policies and procedures when handling calls for service and how the police department can better serve the needs of our community. If you would like an officer to speak to your group, call (970) 454-2212 and speak with Captain Art Mueller.
Employment with Eaton Police DepartmentThe Eaton Police Department accepts resumes and applications only when there is a position to fill.

Automated External DefibrillatorsEaton Police Cars are equipped with state of the art Automated External Defibrillators (AED's), which are devices that treat the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest by delivering an electric shock to a persons body.
What an AED treats is an abnormal heart rhythm called Ventricular Fibrillation (or V-Fib) that causes the heart to stop circulating blood. V-Fib is a heart condition in which the heart quivers instead of mechanically pumping the blood throughout the body. The most effective treatment for V-Fib is CPR and use of a defibrillator. Automated External Defibrillators are designed to allow anyone to use them regardless if they have been formally trained on their operations. AED's accomplish this through use of voice instructions, pictures and prompts. An AED will only deliver a shock if indicated and is safe when used correctly. All Eaton Police Officers are trained in the proper care and use of Automated External Defibrillators. Officers respond on every heart related medical emergency.
