What Do The Strathmoor Police Officers Do?

Strathmoor officers are what we like to consider speciality
police. Officers who go beyond just responding to a call. Many
larger departments have so many calls backed up they place
less emergent calls for service at the bottom of the list.
Strathmoor Police Department specializes in answering those
calls that are important to you while your needing assistance
regardless how big or small the problem may be...


WHEN SHOULD I CALL 911 INSTEAD OF SVPD?

A simple rule of thumb for whether to dial 911 is "do I feel
threatened, endangered, at risk, or in harm's way?"  Any of
these feelings should make you realize that you are in an
emergency situation and dialing 911 is called for.

For non-emergency situations, such as issues with a
neighbor's pet, parking violations around your home,
questions about city ordinances and or our vacation watch
program should be directed to the department's
non-emergency number 4
32-8900.
