The men and women of the Alma Police Department serve the law enforcement needs of the people of the City of Alma twenty four hours a day, 365 days a year. An officer is available to answer calls for service through the Gratiot Central Dispatch Authority, remember in an emergency to Dial 911. The office of the Alma Police Department is open from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday. A direct telephone link to Gratiot Central Dispatch is located in a call box right outside the City Hall doors for those coming to the department when the office is closed.

The department is commanded by the Director of Public Safety who is responsible for the efficient and effective management of fourteen sworn officers - a Police Chief, a Detective and a Sergeant, and ten Police Officers - as well as a full time and part-time Police Clerk.

All sworn officers have received Michigan Law Enforcement Officer Training Council certification. Four officers have received additional training as Mountain Bike Officers. Two officers have been certified as Field Training Officers and the department has three certified Firearms Instructors.
