Tallmadge Charter Township
Mission Statement
To preserve public order, support the constitution of the State of Michigan and enforce all laws and ordinances of our state, county, and township while protecting the lives, property, and rights of all people in a professional and courteous manner.
Beginning in 2001, Tallmadge Charter Township chose to enhance policing efforts with the addition of a contracted community policing position through the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office.
In addition to daily patrol duties, the deputy assigned to this position works closely with township officials to meet the concerns and requests of area residents. With a community focus in mind, the deputy also maintains an active relationship with area schools, churches, and multi-housing communities through involvement in events, fundraisers, and safety and awareness programs.
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.
