Services
The Batesville Police Department serves as the law enforcement agency for the City of Batesville - Arkansas' oldest existing city. Covering 11.6 square miles with two patrol zones, and located near the city center on S. Saint Louis Street, BPD offers a wide array of law enforcement and community functions and services to both our fellow citizens and visitors to our area. Due to patrol officers being on duty and on the streets, we may be the first to arrive on scene to assist the Batesville Fire Department or EMS services on fire or medical calls, as well.
