Otsego Police Department

If you plan on being out of town for a few days or more feel free to complete a House Watch Check request.  On a daily basis we will walk the perimeter of your residence to ensure the doors are locked and nothing looks out of the ordinary.  If there’s a problem we will contact you.  In case of a problem it’s much better to find out right away rather than finding out days/weeks after the fact.  Click here if you would like to request a house watch check.

If you live in Otsego City you can get your pistol purchase permit from us!  Preferred times are Tuesday-Friday from 1:30pm to 4pm.  We may issue them outside of those hours at our discretion as workload permits.

Otsego City now has a certified car seat technician!  Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 3-14.  Local statistics show that as many as 90% of car seats are incorrectly used/installed.  Click here if you would like to setup a car seat inspection.

While bicycle thefts can largely be avoided by locking them up even the best of us can forget.  While bicycles aren’t required to be registered with the police department you can register them with us.  In doing so we will document the bicycle’s serial number which will assist us in locating and returning your property if it’s ever stolen.  All too often located bicycles can’t be returned because the person it was taken from didn’t know the serial number on the bicycle when it was stolen.

In an effort to keep unused/unneeded medications from laying around and ending up in the wrong hands we now offer a prescription medication drop off box.  Just bring the prescriptions to the police department and drop them in the box.  No need to fill out any paperwork.  While we do have a sharps container located by the drop off box please refrain from depositing needles and liquids in the drop off box.
