City of Germantown

The Germantown Police Department is a professional, progressive law enforcement organization committed to serving Germantown residents and visitors. With 108 officers and 24 public safety dispatchers, the department is supported by civilian administrative staff and benefits from outstanding community support and civic involvement.

The administration of the police department rests with Chief of Police Mike Fisher and the appointed command staff, which sets department strategy, prepares and manages the budget, manages staffing, measures performance and prepares statistical reports. The police department is organized into four divisions: Police Services, Uniform Patrol, Investigations and Communications. 

Germantown Police Department has earned accreditation through the Tennessee Law Enforcement Accreditation Program, a program created and managed by the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police. Accreditation means the department has policies and procedures in place for situations such as high speed pursuits, arrests and recordkeeping. Benefits of the status include a $100 reduction per officer annually in law enforcement liability premiums and fewer resources spent on legal defense costs. The process requires an in-depth review of every aspect of the department’s organization, management, operations and administration. 

Location

The Germantown Police Department is located inside the Germantown City Hall, 1930 South Germantown Road. After-hours access is available at the entrance on the north side of the building near Municipal Park lake.
