Message from the Chief:

Welcome to the City of Grandview Heights Division of Police. The Division comprises 22 sworn officers who proactively and extensively train year-round to deliver the highest quality services to our community members.  

As Chief, I am committed to the Division engaging with our residents, visitors, and business community regularly. The relationships we build in the community are paramount to fulfilling our mission. You will see our officers routinely driving throughout the city, on foot patrol, bike patrol, in our schools, and at community events.

I value community feedback. You may reach out at any time by calling (614) 488-7901 during business hours. We have also made it easy to report criminal activity or safety concerns through Grandview Heights 311.
