Message From Chief Jolley

I have the honor of serving as the Chief of the Monroe Police Department. Since my hiring in 2018, I’ve seen our department’s relationship with our community strengthen through problem-solving, engagement, and trust. I’ve also witnessed how our sworn and civilian personnel have evolved through professional development in the ever-changing law enforcement profession. Our accredited department is a full-service law enforcement agency, continuing to provide police services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I advocate for “Partnering for a strong community” and have seen the positive results from our partnerships with community-based organizations, our school district, Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue, and law enforcement agencies. We also partner with residents, business owners/managers, and service organizations to make Monroe “a safe place for all”. These relationships are strengthened through community events such as National Night Out Against Crime and Community Academy, public education programs such as Block Watch and Disaster Preparedness, and services including car seat safety checks and concealed pistol licenses.  

As Chief, I always appreciate the accomplishments of the department because of the efforts taken by department personnel to achieve them. Most notably, in 2024 we were accredited by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC). This milestone reflects the department’s dedication to professionalism and adherence to law enforcement’s best practices and professional standards. Also in 2024, we had sworn in our newest K-9 members: Thor and Apollo. We continue to seek solutions to improve our police facility to ensure access and service to our community is contemporary, and operations are conducted efficiently.   

Two vital programs - our Community Outreach Team and School Resource Officer (SRO) – continue to serve our community. Our Community Outreach Team includes a police officer and social worker who regularly contact those experiencing homelessness to offer resources. Our SRO supports safety and security during the school day and during selected after-school activities at Monroe High School. 

I recognize that information from the department is important to many and encourage you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram (@MonroeWAPolice). Each week, we post our Police Blotter highlighting incidents from the previous week. If you have a general question, please email us at police@monroewa.gov. 

Our commitment to professionalism, respect, integrity, dedication, and excellence is our core foundation. As your Chief, I appreciate the support of the department expressed by schools, businesses, neighborhoods, and our elected officials. 

Thank you for your trust,

Jeff Jolley
Chief of Police
