The Grain Valley Police Department provides twenty-four (24) hour, seven day a week protection to its citizens. The City of Grain Valley is approximately 6 square miles and has an estimated population of 12,000 citizens. It is located in Jackson County on Interstate 70 approximately fifteen miles east of Kansas City. There are four major arteries of travel into the city connecting it with Blue Springs, Oak Grove, Buckner and Lone Jack.

The Police Department is comprised of two (2) divisions, Investigations and Patrol. The Investigation Division currently has a full-time detective who is responsible for continued follow-up of all crimes and complaints that occur within our city. 

The Patrol Division is the backbone of the department and encompasses the Canine Unit, and the Special Operations Unit. The Patrol Division is commanded by four (4) Sergeants and overseen by the Chief of Police. The Patrol Division is divided into four (4) separate squads operating on rotation twelve (12) hours shifts. Due to the size of the department it is not uncommon for one (1) officer to participate in several different units at the same time.

The members of the Patrol Division are responsible for conducting Special Operations. Some examples would be sobriety checkpoints, undercover alcohol buy operations, surveillance details and the serving of search warrants.

The Patrol Division's primary job is to serve and protect the community of Grain Valley. The officers respond to various calls for service and assist the public on a daily basis. Through high visibility patrol, proactive enforcement and aggressive investigations the Grain Valley Police Department provides a quality Police service to its citizens.

The Canine Unit Officer is assigned to a regular patrol shift and is available for call-out at any time. He conducts several important duties to include narcotics detection, suspect tracking, building and area searches, along with community demonstrations and education.

The re-establishment of our Bike Patrol Unit is currently underway. Grant money has provided the means of purchasing updated equipment and other necessities.  The officers are certified through IPMBA (International Police Mountain Bike Association). These officer's duties include community relations, traffic enforcement, special events and saturation patrol in areas experiencing higher than normal criminal activity. The Bike Patrol will be an extremely versatile unit, operating at various times of the year.
