The Dellwood Police Department currently has 16 employees (all police officers). However, as of November 2011, Dellwood is looking for ways to reduce its expenses, including reducing or replacing the department with St. Louis County Police Department services. Although the county police could likely not hire all of the Dellwood officers, Chief of Police Tim Fitch reminds residents Dellwood is only a single square mile in size.
