The Wilton Police Department's authorized staffing consists of 44 sworn officers and four civilian employees, including two dispatchers. There is also a Police Explorer post. The Department operates a Neighborhood Watch Program, which began in 1984, and takes a proactive approach to law enforcement and crime prevention. Officers receive ongoing training under State mandates. Certification is received through training at the Connecticut Police Academy as well as roll call training, plus attendance at specialized-training schools. The Department has a full-time School Resource Officer. A regular part of the school curriculum at the elementary level is the "Officer Friendly" program. The School Resource Officer also coordinates sessions on safety, drug, and alcohol abuse by youth, and provides counseling and advice to many youth-related special interest groups. The department also patrols the community on bicycles, unmarked vehicles and police sport utility vehicles. A traffic patrol unit concentrates on controlling excessive speed and aggressive drivers in an attempt to lower accident rates.
