Emergency Management

The City of Stafford DEM shall continue to develop and maintain a leading edge, all-hazards emergency management and homeland security program that encompasses all organizations in the public and private sectors. This will include citizens; government agencies at the city, county, regional, state, and federal levels; school boards; businesses (small and corporate), faith-based; and volunteer agencies.

Fire Department

The Stafford Fire Department is a combination department manned by a team of 87 dedicated firefighters led by Fire Chief Larry DiCamillo. The department holds a superior “Class 1” ISO insurance rating, held by less than 1% of all Fire Departments nationally. A Class 1 rating is only achieved by committing to the highest standards of protection for the community and our firefighters. The department responds to an average of 200-300 incidents per month and provides staffed fire companies around-the-clock 24-hours a day, 7-days-a-week to protect the lives and property of area residents and businesses.

Fire Marshal

The mission of the Stafford Fire Marshal's Office is to reduce the loss of life and property from fire and hazardous materials incidents citywide through education, engineering, inspections, permitting, information programs, plans review, and the adoption of regulations designed to minimize injury and reduce risk to the general public and to emergency responders.

Municipal Court

The Municipal Court Department processes court cases where an allegation of city code violation has been made or a defendant is accused of a Class C misdemeanor within the territorial city limits. Such violations are generally punishable by fines up to $500, but fines of up to $2,000 may be assessed for violations relating to fire safety, zoning, public health and sanitation.

Police Department

The mission of the Stafford Police Department is to enhance the quality of life in our community by working cooperatively with the public and within the framework of the United States Constitution to enforce laws, preserve the peace and provide for a safe environment for all members of our community.
