Mission Statement
The mission of those serving the City of Coopersville as members of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office is to preserve public order, support the constitution of the State of Michigan, and enforce all laws and ordinances of our state, county, and city while protecting the lives, property and rights, of all people in a professional and courteous manner.
General Information
Effective January 9, 1996, the City of Coopersville entered into a contract with the County of Ottawa, through the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, to transfer its police functions and responsibilities to the sheriff’s office. The Sheriff’s Office will continue to provide 24-hour law enforcement services to the City of Coopersville and their 4,275 residents.
The branch office for local Sheriff’s Office operations is located within the Coopersville City Hall building, located at 289 Danforth Street in the City of Coopersville. The Coopersville branch office at City Hall is open weekdays from 8:00am to 4:00pm. The office can be contacted at (616) 997-2128 for non-emergency questions or call the Sheriff’s Office Headquarters at (888) 731-1001 or (616) 738-4000. The Sheriff’s Office is part of the Ottawa County Central Dispatch 911 System.
All requests for law enforcement service should be made to Central Dispatch at (800) 249-0911 (non-emergency) or in the case of an emergency, call 911 directly. There is also a phone located in the lobby of the Coopersville Branch Office which has a direct line to Central Dispatch.
Northeast Ottawa Forum (NEO Forum)
The Northeast Ottawa Forum or the NEO Forum, is a program that provides counseling services, education, support and resources to all Coopersville Area Public Schools students and the community in order to reduce substance abuse, violence and juvenile delinquency.
The NEO Forum staff is a unique combination of a community counselor and a sheriff’s deputy who work together to teach local students about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco use as well as to provide counseling services to local children and families in need. Since the program began during the 1997-1998 school year, more youth are drug free and maintaining healthy lifestyles as well as interacting more positively with their peers and the community.
