Police Department

The Gluckstadt Police Department was established in 2022 when the city hired its first Chief Wendell E. Watts. On October 10, 2023,  Barry Hale was sworn in as the next chief of police. The command staff was built to begin the process of building the city's first ever municipal police department.

The police department is dedicated to providing exceptional law enforcement to our citizens. The department maintains an active and motivated patrol force and office staff that contribute to our community-oriented policing.

The Gluckstadt Police Department’s goal is to create and maintain an overall environment for public safety. Our vision is for Gluckstadt to be recognized for zero tolerance for crime as well as its compassion and responsiveness to the needs, rights, and expectations of all its citizens. The Gluckstadt Police Department continues to make great progress in building a professional police department for the citizens of Gluckstadt while developing strong partnerships within the community.

The Gluckstadt Police Department is located in the City Hall building at 343 Distribution Drive.
