== History ==
The Shingle Springs' Police Department was founded in 1855, fives years after the founding of Shingle Springs. Before this, the small town was policed by a small group of 10 volunteers. Over the five years from 1850 to 1855, Shingle Springs had a huge population and crime boom. This resulted in the founding of the SSPD.
== Shingle Springs' Incident ==
The SSPD was at its largest during the early months of 2010, however as the Shingle Springs' Incident erupted a large number of SSPD Officers were killed or fled from the city, resulted in the number of Officers dropping to 500. This, along with the riots and the incident itself lead to the SSPD initiating the Shingle Springs' Police Department Institute (SSPDI) program. 
The SSPDI program was created to help increase the number of officers for the SSPD. This program lightened the requirements necessary for registration and allowed many new types of individuals to train as officers.
