The Gloversville Police Department is a full service police agency. Dispatched by Fulton County's Central Dispatch Center, twenty-four hour a day emergency and non emergency service is provided, with administrative offices open from 8 am to 4 pm weekdays at 3 Frontage Rd.

Along with the traditional police services, the department offers the community the following:

A neighborhood watch program
Residential and commercial security inspections
High risk entry team
Bicycle patrol
A counter sniper team
A commercial vehicle inspection team
A crime prevention specialist
An accident reconstruction team

The department has embraced the concept of community policing, striving tirelessly to improve the rapport between its members and the public, for only when the public and its police agencies share a common thread of trust and cooperation, will those that would endanger the peace and safety of the community be prevented from doing so.

To ensure the mission of the department is carried out, the Gloversville Police Department attained accredited status in 1997,  2002 and 2007. Accredited status defines The Gloversville Police Department as conforming to state wide standards of excellence in policy, procedure and most importantly in officer capability. The department has committed itself to provide the best possible law enforcement for the citizens of Gloversville. To ensure that this commitment would be reached, we have hired the best people for the job and provided them with the best training available.
