| The Milford Police are a department of Milford Village government. The department has contracted services with the Charter Township of Milford for many years. Since 1997, the Township is the taxing authority with respect to police services for both the Village and Township of Milford, and provides full services to both communities (combined population of approximately 15,256) at a cost of $211.94 per capita. |

| Mission |
|
| The mission of the Milford Police Department is that "Every member will seek and find ways to promote, preserve, and deliver quality services, safety, and a feeling of security to our community". |
|
|
|
| Organization and Activities |
|
| The budget includes funding for 17 officers, under the direction of a Police Chief, to provide 24-hour, 365 day service and response. The officers are well equipped and well trained, and are held to the highest standards of the police profession. |
|
|
|
| One part-time civilian Administrative Assistant maintains records and informational services and acts as liason to the public. The Administrative Assistant also prepares permit and employment applications, and official department correspondence. Five dispatchers provide complete E-911 communications services. The communications center provides the public with 24-hour direct contact with the department. Our dispatchers release reports, issue burn permits, and solve problems based on first-hand knowledge of our community. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Ten reserve officers augment the strength of road patrol, provide support for parades and special events, and act as an important liaison to the community. The Milford Police Reserves are one of Michigan's oldest police auxiliary units, formed in 1950. The reserves meet standards of training parallel to the regular officers. |
