Our Community
The Glendale Police Department is dedicated to working with residents, businesses and communities, to identify and solve community problems. We are a department of employees committed to working together through a variety of programs. These programs and services positively impact a citizen's quality of life as well as reinforce the strengths and needs of neighborhoods.
We encourage you to learn more about our department through your personal involvement. Register to participate in our Citizen Police Academy or volunteer your time in a variety of areas.
In addition to adult programs, the police department also has an Explorer Post for teen involvement. This group specializes in all aspects of law enforcement and community services with members who are 14 to 20 years of age.
