Almont Police Dept

What Almont Police Dept does

The Almont Police Department is a municipal law enforcement division of the Village of Almont government, located in Lapeer County, Michigan. Established as part of the sixth-oldest village in Michigan (incorporated 1834), the department provides 24-hour police protection to Village of Almont residents and operates from Village Hall at 817 N. Main Street. The force is staffed by a Police Chief (Daniel Willis), a Sergeant (Dave Repshas), eight named patrol officers, a School Liaison Officer (Mike Retzler), a Secretary (Alisa Freshour), and an Ordinance Enforcer (Catherine Riddle). Non-emergency dispatch is routed through Lapeer County Dispatch (810-667-0292); emergencies are handled via 911.

The department delivers a portfolio of community-policing services: 24-hour patrol coverage, incident and crash reporting (with online crash documentation through CrashDocs.org), ordinance enforcement, vacation property checks, a Safe Medication Disposal program, and FOIA processing. A dedicated School Liaison Officer provides embedded presence in Almont Community Schools. The department has shed several peripheral services — pistol sales permits, fingerprinting, and concealed weapon permits are now processed by the Lapeer County Sheriff's Office — narrowing focus to core patrol and community policing.

Funding is derived entirely from the Village of Almont's property tax millage (13.3150 mills for general operating purposes, with 45.27% allocated to police) plus an annual garbage service charge of $177.48 bundled into the tax bill. Resident engagement channels include the official municipal website (almontmichigan.gov), a Facebook page (@AlmontMI), Village Council meetings, and public notices. The department operates within a council-manager form of government adopted in 1968 and is administratively accountable to the Village Manager and Village Council.
