Message From Steven Forker
At the Michigan City Police Department, our officers are among the most skilled and dedicated in the nation. They form a diverse team of men and women who wear the badge with honor and pride, carrying out their duties with the knowledge that their work makes a meaningful difference each day.
True public safety is not achieved by law enforcement alone—it is built on trust, communication, and strong partnerships with the community we serve. Together with the citizens of Michigan City, we share the responsibility of creating a safer, stronger, and more vibrant city.
We take great pride in our people, our training, our technology, and our facilities. These investments ensure that MCPD remains at the forefront of professional law enforcement in Indiana. We are committed to continuous improvement because the safety and well-being of our community demand nothing less.
Guided by our core principles of Integrity, Dedication, and Professionalism, we reserve our uniform for only the most exceptional public servants—officers who serve with character, embrace challenges, and uphold the highest standards. As partners with our community, we remain steadfast in our mission to protect, serve, and build lasting trust.
