St. George is located in the southwest corner of Utah. The city is spread out over approximately 75 square miles. Residents and visitors enjoy over 300 sunny days per year. The desert climate, with an elevation of 2,760 feet, promotes year-round recreation and leisure activities.

We are committed to providing professional and innovative police services. We strive to uphold the mission of the St George Police Department; preserve life, maintain human rights, protect property, and promote individual responsibility and community commitment.
