Operations – hours, staff and how to reach us
The Police Department provides 24-hour police service, as well as dispatching fire and emergency medical services.
The primary function of the Department is patrol, which operates 24 hours a day. Officers assigned to patrol respond to calls for service, patrol the City in an effort to prevent crime, enforce traffic laws, and enforce criminal laws and City ordinances. In many cases, the officers handle the investigations from beginning to end. Most of the time, officers patrol in vehicles but they also patrol on foot and on bicycles.
The Department provides patrol and security services for areas of the community that require extra surveillance, including Northville Downs.
The Police business office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The office is located on the lower level of Northville City Hall, 215 W. Main St. Call us at 248-349-5100. If the office is closed, that general number will prompt you to leave a voice mail, so don’t call it in an emergency. A phone is also available in the building entrance to contact a dispatcher for police assistance.
For emergencies, dial 911 – text 911 if you can’t talk by phone.
Currently, the authorized staffing level includes one chief, one captain, three sergeants, eight police officers, one records clerk and six school crossing guards.
Dispatch and lockup services are provided by the Northville Township Department of Public Safety, 41600 Six Mile, 248-349-9400.
