Welcome to the Grandville Police Department Web Page. The Grandville Police Department serves a population of slightly over 16,000 people. There are not many remaining areas of the city suitable for residential development, so the population is not anticipated to increase significantly. Grandville has long been known as a wonderful place in which to live, work, and raise a family. The city is well known for its many excellent schools and churches, and downtown business area. For many years, the Grandville Police Department operated with between 18 and 22 officers in its effort to provide police protection to the community. The City of Grandville has enjoyed a reputation for being a city with a very low crime rate that provided residents with a high quality of life.
The Grandville Police Department has grown to 28 officers in response to these changes in the city. The department’s goal throughout this growth process has been to maintain the high quality personal and professional service to the residents of the neighborhoods and still be able to respond to the greatly increased demands caused by the tremendous commercial growth. Even with the increased staffing of the department, accomplishing this goal was a monumental task. Only through partnering with neighborhoods, businesses, and the schools has this goal been accomplished. The members of the Grandville Police Department understand that they exist to serve the community. With this in mind, they have worked during the past year to re-think such things as their mission, vision, and values and have established new goals and procedures with which to move forward. Mission StatementThe mission of the Grandville Police Department is to provide a safe environment and the highest quality of life in which all people may live, work and learn. Vision StatementThe Grandville Police Department is committed to providing professional police services. We are committed to the equality of all people, and to observing the rights of all members of the community. We will exercise sound judgment, in an ethical manner, while providing our services to the community. We will treat all people with dignity and respect. We will be creative, hard working, and responsive to the needs of the community. We will empower employees to make decisions as they use problem solving techniques in response to problems that have been identified while working with our citizens. We will also work together to educate the public of our expectations as they help us in addressing those problems. We will operate the police department under fiscally sound principles and respect all the resources that are entrusted to us. We will focus our energy on protecting and improving the quality of life for all people that live, work, and learn in the City of Grandville.

fine restaurants and other new businesses. The mall and other new
