 Thank you for visiting the Newcastle Police Department’s web page. You will find that the men and women of the Newcastle Police Department are a dedicated, well-trained and experienced group who take pride in their work. The officers are committed to community policing, problem solving and providing exceptional service. The Newcastle Police Department is committed to working with residents to keep this community a safe and secure place to live and work.
The Newcastle Police Department has officers on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are responsible for providing police service to over 10,000 residents and several thousand others who travel to, or through Newcastle each day. The City of Newcastle contracts with the King County Sheriff's Office for police services. By contracting the city is able to provide Newcastle residents with high quality, cost effective and specialized police services from a regional provider. Newcastle has officers and a police chief assigned to the city on a full time basis.
The officer's wear blue uniforms and drive city marked patrol cars. Newcastle also draws upon the Sheriff's Office for additional patrol assistance and specialized services.
Newcastle Police Introduce 'The Club' to Combat Auto-Theft
Every 23 seconds in the United States, a thief takes off with another person’s car or truck. Last year, Newcastle alone had 56 vehicles stolen. Anti-theft devices such as alarms, window etchings, and steering wheel locks help deter auto thieves. In an effort to combat auto thefts in our city, Newcastle Police have collaborated with Winners International, makers of ‘The Club’ steering wheel locks to offer the locks to people who live and work in Newcastle.
Two different sizes of The Club are available for purchase at City Hall at cost, well below retail. The small lock will fit passenger vehicles and the large lock will fit SUVs and trucks.
If you wish to purchase ‘The Club’ for use on your vehicle, contact the front desk of City Hall during business hours (8 AM – 5 PM, Monday—Friday). The small club is available for $10.00 plus tax, and the large club is $15.00 plus tax, cash or check only please. |
