Future Outlook 4
On August 14, 1905, Guam’s first true local policing effort was established under the control of the United States Navy.
The first policemen were natives of Guam. These brave and heroic men were members of the Insular Patrol Force as
part of the Guam Insular Guard. The U.S. Navy later augmented the police force with members of the U.S. Marines
stationed on Guam.
In 1952, the Department of Public Safety was established as a carryover from the U.S. Government‐controlled Guam
Insular Guard. The 1950 Organic Act of Guam paved the way for Guam’s self‐government, hence, the formulation of the
Government of Guam. The Department of Public Safety was entrusted the authority to enforce the laws of the territory
and federal statutes applicable to Guam. Furthermore, the Department was responsible for the administration and
operation of the former Guam Penitentiary and Fire Division.
Effective March 13, 1985, pursuant to Public Law 17‐78, the Department of Public Safety was separated into two
departments—the Guam Police Department and the Guam Fire Department.

Future Plans for the Department
The Guam Police Department continues to face many challenges, however, one of our biggest challenges is to meet the increasing
demand for police services. It’s inevitable the growth of our population as we anticipate the U.S. Military buildup. With the
buildup , we can expect a greater number of calls for emergency and non‐emergency services. The arrival of more people to the
island will require a larger civilian support staff and police force, updated and dependable communications systems, emergency
response vehicles and equipment, and many other needs to sustain and maintain an operationally sound Department.
Another matter of concern for our police department is the fact that our headquarters, administration, support and operations
divisions still do not have a permanent home. The Department just recently began moving out of its current location on Central
Avenue, Tiyan, to Mariner Avenue on the opposite side of Tiyan. The move is necessary as the A.B. Won Pat Guam International
Airport continues its expansion of airport property and facilities.
These concerns should prompt an appropriate call for action to furnish our Department with an adequate budget so we can
improve the overall quality of service our officers and support staff provide to the community. Nonetheless, the men and women
of the Guam Police Department stand ready to Protect and Serve our island home.
