Police Services

The Grand Haven Department of Public Safety provides police services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The agency responds to approximately 10,000 calls for service each year and participates in numerous special events providing traffic safety and crowd control/security. In addition to responding to police calls, officers are cross-trained as firefighters. As a result, they also respond to medicals and fires, which account for approximately 1,300 additional calls each year.

Investigative Unit

The police investigators are responsible for conducting investigations on criminal complaints that require a great deal of time and attention.

The investigators responsibilities are numerous and include: crime scene processing, interview and interrogation of victims/suspects, surveillance and plain clothes details. The detectives are also responsible for the processing, storage and destruction of all evidence.
