"The Four Pillars"

The Shelby Township Police Department utilizes the latest techniques in education, prevention, detection and enforcement. Our members undergo constant training to provide professional law enforcement services. Through a mutual effort with our citizens, businesses and community groups, Shelby's Police Department helps to keep the Township a place where people are secure in their homes, businesses and travels.

Our department and officers operate under the four pillars of professionalism, teamwork, preparedness and pride. This strategy of working with our partners in the community has seen the township recognized as the No. 1 Place to Live on Macomb County's, 2017-2025, and the safest community of its size in Macomb County in 2019, 2018 and 2017 as well as one of the 50 safest cities in Michigan in 2017.
