The Thornton Fire Department began as a volunteer department in the 1950’s. The
volunteers took turns keeping the 1924 American LaFrance fire truck at their homes until
the community had facilities to store it. Thornton's Fire Department now consists of
71 full-time employees and operates five 24-hour fire stations.
The Thornton Police Department consists of three divisions—Administration, Patrol
and Detective. There are a total of 150 police officers in Thornton and growing.
