The Rockwell Police Department as it is now known was officially started in July of 1979 after the Town had received an L.E.A.A. grant to fund an officer and a patrol vehicle. With this funding, a new 1979 Ford LTD II Patrol Car was purchased. An officer was hired by the sheriff and would be a sworn Deputy assigned to Rockwell He would be supervised by the Sheriff's Department chain of command under Sheriff John Stirewalt.

The Public Works Department consists of two full-time employees and two part-time employees. Their duties are as varied as the employees themselves. They may be seen anywhere around town at any given time. They could be picking up limbs, mowing grass, cleaning curbs, painting fire hydrants, shoveling snow, or many other things to numerous to mention. All, except for one, of these men are volunteer firemen. This helps our town to maintain a high ISO rating since we always have someone available to respond to fire or emergency calls.
