Gates Mills Police Department

Proud to Serve…Sworn to Protect

From Your Police Department:

On behalf of the men and women of the Police Department, I would like to thank all those who contributed to the Village Employee Christmas Fund. I’d also like to thank those who kept the Town Hall supplied with delicious holiday food items. Your thoughtful expressions of support for the Police Department were greatly appreciated.

January 2016 marks second year that the Gates Mills Police Department has officially partnered with the Valley Enforcement Group (VEG). Benefits of partnering with the 16 other communities, mainly in the Chagrin Valley, include: larger resource pools, more grant funding availability, additional training opportunities and continued cost reduction.

If you haven’t done so yet, please take time to explore the updated Village website at: www.gatesmillsvillage.com. The website is a quick and easy method of staying up to date with Village related information. In an effort to maximize technology, house watch requests can now be submitted on the Village website…simply click on Watch My House, complete the form, click on Submit, and your home will be added to the house watch list. For those who prefer a more traditional method of submitting their house watch request, you can call 440-423-4405 (Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, and Saturday 9 am- 1 pm) and provide the Police & Town Hall Coordinator with your information.

For those of you who have keys on file here at the police department, we encourage you to stop in and verify that your keys are up to date. If necessary, we want to make sure we can gain entry into your residence in an emergency without any damage or assist you if you inadvertently lock yourself out.

Please mark your calendar on Friday, March 11th from 10 am to 11 am to join Fire Chief Robinson, Sgt. Savage, and me for “Coffee with the Safety Forces” at Sara’s Place. Special thanks to Dave and Mary Gromelski for hosting this event for us. We will be happy to talk to you about anything that is on your mind. Light refreshments will be provided.

Until next month – Proud to Serve...Sworn to Protect

Yours in Service,

Gregg Minichello
