Board of Police Commissioners

The Board of Police Commissioners is tasked with the hiring and promotion of the sworn police officers of the Lockport Police Department. The commissioners are also tasked with disciplinary issues, if need be, based on a recommendation by the Chief of Police.

When police testing occurs, the Board of Police Commissioners advertises the acceptance of applications through local media outlets, as well as, this website.

The Lockport Police Department tested for the position of Police Officer in October 2015, with an eligibility list posted in October 2015 and utilized until October 2017.
