The RWPD "goes pink" for Breast Cancer Awareness
During the month of October, in support of our family, friends and community members that have fought or continue to fight this disease, the Red Wing Police Department/Chief Pohlman has approved officers to wear pink badges throughout the month. The badges were purchased by the officers at their own expense and 10% of the cost went toward breast cancer research.
If you would like to join us in the fight against breast cancer, you can donate here (link) or to any breast cancer organization of your choice.
The Red Wing Police Department was established in 1887. Prior to that time, the city employed constables for law enforcement. The Police Department provides the community with traditional police services including:
- Crime Prevention
- Evidence Technician
- Investigations
- Records
- Patrol
The Police Department continues to employ and train a highly motivated and skilled team, preserving the highest ethical standards with an unyielding dedication to service.
Message from the Police Chief

Our officers are among the best in law enforcement, highly trained and properly equipped with the latest technology, allowing us to respond to the diverse number of situations that may arise. Whether you live in Red Wing or are just visiting, our goal is to ensure that you have a safe, enjoyable experience and partake in the quality of life that makes Red Wing such a wonderful place to live and work.
