The St. Joseph Public Safety Department is made up of a combination of 20 Public Safety Officers trained in law enforcement and firefighting, 6 full-time firefighters, and police and fire reserve officers.

We will strive to work with the citizenry toward the accomplishment of organizational and community objectives by providing those services which will continue to make St. Joseph progressive, safer and second to none.

Keeping Your Neighborhood Safe and Enjoyable

The Public Safety Department can help you with this by working with you to address the following:

  • The quality of life issues - barking dogs, loud parties, loud vehicles, traffic hazards and burned-out streetlights.
  • Suspicious activities - people or vehicles in your neighborhood that are not normal or out of place for the time of day.
  • Actual crimes - that have happened and need to be investigated so that an arrest can be made or information obtained so that prevention measures can be used.

Hydrant Flushing

The City will be conducting a hydrant flushing program of our water distribution system commencing in early May.  Flushing offers many benefits including improved system reliability, water quality and system hydraulics.  The flushing will cause sediment to be stirred-up and the best way to avoid experiencing discolored water is to refrain from using water when the flushing is underway in your neighborhood.  Running water from an outside spigot or utility sink upon the completion of flushing is also recommended.  The intent is to undertake most of the flushing during daytime hours, however some flushing will occur at night.  Signs will be placed in the neighborhoods prior to flushing. A status map can found HERE.  Those desiring additional information about the program should contact the Department of Public Works at 269-983-6341.
