Your central hub for coverage of policing, public safety, and arrest activity in Farmington.
The Farmington Mercury covers the Farmington Police Department with the same rigor we apply to town government — arrest logs, use-of-force data, departmental budget decisions, and the occasional story that doesn't fit neatly into a press release. We believe a well-informed community is a safer community.
