Public Safety
The Brookfield Police Department provides our community the finest public safety services by preserving the peace, promoting safety, and protecting life and property. They are committed to maintaining an open dialogue and positive interaction to maintain a partnership that will solve problems and enhance the quality of life for all residents, visitors and business owners.

Drinking Water
Aquarion Water Company and the Town have made significant investment to provide a reliable supply of high quality water to meet current and projected demands.  Aquarion owns and operates eight public water systems in Town.  The largest is the Brookfield Main System which serves the central corridor along Federal Road from New Milford to Danbury, Silvermine Road, and north of Silvermine Road on Route 25.  The remaining water systems are to the east and west of Federal Road and serve primarily residential areas.

Fire Department
The town operates two firehouses, both staffed by a proud volunteer fire department and supported by state-of-the-art fire and rescue equipment.  The fire house nearest Candlewood Lake is on the west side of town and the Brookfield Volunteer Fire Department is on the eastern side on Pocono Road.  Central dispatch can readily call on several volunteer and public ambulance services available in town.

Power
Homes and businesses use either heating oil, propane or natural gas to heat their homes from several local suppliers. Natural gas is available via a pipeline along Federal Road from Eversource.
