Contact Police

We invite you to become involved with our department in order to continue forging a strong cooperative partnership that is built upon mutual trust and respect. No police department can solve crime or quality of life issues alone. Effective community-police relationships, communication and engagement are critical components to our success.


In an emergency

If you are having an emergency, call 9-1-1.

Text for Safety

To report suspicious or unwanted behavior through text message, use the Text for Safety feature on Metro Transit’s app, or send a text message to 612-900-0411.
