Municipal government is administered by three commissioners, elected to four-year terms. Although there is virtually no crime rate in the county, area leaders are prepared, funding a 16-member Police Department and nine-member County Sheriff’s Department to provide law enforcement. The Fire Department is staffed by 21 regular firemen and seven volunteers.

Waste removal and sewage are municipal services with some private contracting, and recycling is offered by Decatur County Solid Waste Management. Utility suppliers include Cinergy/PSI and Decatur County REMC for electricity, Indiana Gas Company, Inc. for gas, Greensburg Municipal Water Company and Decatur County Rural Water for water, and GTE of Indiana for telephone service.
