01 // DETAILS
Full description and what we offer
This is an official government agency, not a commercial firearms dealer, gunsmith, or public training facility. The Bedford Police Department (BPD) is a municipal law enforcement organization that has served the City of Bedford, Indiana for over 120 years.
The BPD operates as the primary law enforcement agency for Bedford, employing 33 sworn officers across five operational divisions. While their website lists "Public Firearm Classes" as a resource, this refers to the civilian firearms course they sponsor—a single annual community education event, not a primary business offering.
The department does host an annual Civilian Firearms Course as a community fundraiser:
This is a one-time annual event, not an ongoing training business.
| Division | Primary Function |
|---|---|
| Officers Division (Patrol) | Day-to-day operations, traffic enforcement, call response |
| Detective Division | Criminal investigations, major case management, property room |
| School Resource Division | Safety at Bedford North Lawrence schools since 2018 |
| Dispatch | 911 call handling and emergency communications |
| Office Staff | Administrative operations |
Leadership: - Chief Terry Moore (Serving since 2004) - Assistant Chief Joe DeWees (Serving since 1988)
All BPD officers complete training at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy within their first year and receive ongoing training throughout their tenure. Indiana officers gain statewide jurisdiction 24/7 after academy completion.
BPD participates in local outreach:
This is a government law enforcement agency, not a firearms business. For actual firearms training, instruction, or sales, contact a licensed commercial provider instead.
