The Fairfield Police Department practices community policing. Community policing is a goal of working in partnership with the community to not only apprehend law violators but to resolve and prevent problems relating to crime and neighborhood safety. Residents are encouraged to get to know the officers working their areas and let them know of any concerns or problems. Residents with concerns regarding problems in their neighborhood can also contact the Fairfield Police Department at 203-254-4808.
