The Northville Township Police Department is part of a nominally consolidated Department of Public Safety. This allows resources to be leveraged for efficiency and shared with the Northville Township Fire Department. These resources include public safety communications, records management, technology and administrative support.  

As a full-time law enforcement agency, our focus is on comprehensive service delivery. Our agency uses data analysis to strategically manage resources in response to community needs and crime control, based on defined goals and objectives. 

The organization is divided into two divisions, Patrol Services and Investigative Services. Both divisions are supported by administration which oversees agency objectives, budgeting, policy development and training. 

The Northville Township Police Department is entrusted to uphold individual rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America, the Constitution of the State of Michigan, laws created by our elected bodies and those established through the judicial system. These frameworks provide the foundation for professional policing in our community. 

As an agency committed to continuous improvement, we support our belief in Constitutional Policing through the implementation of processes guided by independent best practices. These are communicated through policies which we support through training to establish competency, and then supervise to ensure accountability of our practices. We recognize trust in processes is gained through transparency and independent verification.
