Non-notable law enforcement agency. Article is based on primary sources alone. Article contains no information of encyclopedic value. – Fayenatic London 09:50, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Page was previously PRODded as a one-liner, then re-created and expanded, hence AFD rather than WP:PROD is the applicable process. – Fayenatic London 09:50, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep All police departments seem notable to me. Further, this one is fairly large. --''Paul, in Saudi'' (talk) 10:47, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete lack of sufficient coverage. Clearly not all police departments are notable. That idea causes me to run for the hills.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:46, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not meet WP:NORG. Police departments are an interesting case. Whereas there are hundreds of newspaper articles mentioning particular police departments every year, those stories are about crimes; they are both WP:PRIMARY and WP:ROUTINE. It is completely impossible in most cases to write an article sourced primarily to secondary sources. There are absolutely 0 secondary sources. John from Idegon (talk) 05:31, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Further, news stories about any police department (and not about crimes) are likely to be about corruption and misconduct. Use those stories and people complain about a lack of balance.''Paul, in Saudi'' (talk) 13:32, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
