Lathrup Village Police Department's direct telephone number is (248) 557-3600.
The system is based solely on the automated attendant system.
You can override the attendant by simply dialing in the appropriate extension number of the person, or department section, found in the staff directory. All calls for our police officers are to be made by following this procedure.
- For all Emergency calls for police, fire and medical services
- dial 9-1-1.
- To request a police officer for a NON-emergency situation, or to report excessive noise, animal control, animal complaints, etc. dial 1-248-557-3600 and press 2. This will connect you with the dispatch center. You may also dial the dispatch center directly at 1-248-354-1010.
- If you are unsure of which number to call, the Southfield Dispatch Operations Manager has recommended that you simply dial 9-1-1.
The Police Department is housed in the north end of the City's
Municipal Buildings main level.
We currently have 9 full time
sworn officers, 1 police clerk, one code enforcement officer,
and a volunteer police force of 10.
Our current Chief is Bob
Jones.
The office hours for the police are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m., at which time normal business transactions such as requesting
a traffic accident report, a weapons purchase application,
contacting our Community Policing Officer, Code Enforcement
Officer etc. may be conducted.
The City contracts for fire, EMS (ambulance), and dispatching
services through the City of Southfield.
The Police Department has designated one of its officers,
Officer Mike Krause, as our Community Policing Officer.
Officer
Krause is available to discuss matters that normally would
go to a road patrol officer.
The Community Policing concept
is relatively new for this City and is evolving each day.
Any suggestions that you may have on how to improve our policing
efforts can be directed to Officer Krause (Ext.# 230).
In
addition, the City has instituted a bike patrol program so
that our officers can have a more direct relationship with
its residents.
