The Grain Valley Police Department is comprised
of men and women devoted to providing effective
policing services to all residents of the
community. The department has been faced with
the challenges related to a rapidly growing
community. In 1993 there were 7 officers
serving full-time. In 1998 this number
increased to 11 officers. Currently 20
full-time officers, 2 reserve officers, 3
administrative personnel, 2 victim advocates and
3 volunteers provide a variety of services to
citizens, businesses and visitors of Grain
Valley. The department is committed to
excellence and provides specialized services
including Patrol, Crime Prevention, School
Resource, DARE, Victim Services, Investigations,
and Drug Task Force participation.
The Grain Valley Police Department is recognized
for the innovative concepts brought to local law
enforcement. Grain Valley is one of the few
departments to provide Victim Services at the
local level. This program provides victims of
crime an advocate throughout the criminal
process. Grain Valley also has a Crime
Prevention program that is outstanding. The
Patrol Division, however, is key to keeping the
streets, neighborhoods and business districts of
Grain Valley protected from criminal activity.
Without this exceptional patrol division, the
other specialized services would not be
effective.
Grain Valley Police is the only department in
the area to have a certified Sexual Harassment
and Rape Prevention (SHARPS) instructor. The
training available to citizens and is offered
based on citizen interest. For more information
please call the department.
The School Resource Officer program provides
excellent protection and education to the Grain
Valley School District. The rapid growth of the
district can be reflected by the DARE program.
In 1990 there were 30 students who graduated
from the DARE program. This number increased to
490 in 2008.
A strong sense of commitment, integrity and
ethics is demonstrated in the men and women of
the Grain Valley Police Department. These
individuals work closely to provide the
excellent police service citizens, business
owners and visitors have grown to expect.
