Rhode Island State Police Headquarters

About

In 2008 the Rhode Island General Assembly passed Article 9 of H 7390 in an effort to reorganize many functions of state government. The major focus of this reorganization was to bring several law enforcement and criminal justice agencies previously under the Department of Administration under one organizational structure. This re-structuring created the Department of Public Safety. There are seven agencies in the Department of Public Safety: the Rhode Island State Police, the Division of the Rhode Island State Fire Marshal, the E 9-1-1 Uniform Emergency Telephone System, the Rhode Island Capitol Police, the Rhode Island Municipal Police Training Academy, the Public Safety Grants Administration Office (formerly the Rhode Island Justice Commission), and the Rhode Island Division of Sheriffs.
