Law Enforcement: Avon has a police chief and 21 full-time officers.
Fire Protection: Our fire chief directs two fire stations with 27 Firefighter/EMTs and 18 Firefighter/Paramedics. Our fire departments have ten units of apparatus, including rescue and ambulances. A third fire station is being planned for future construction.
