[edit] Police Department
The Hillsdale Police Department is responsible for law enforcement services in the village. Despite having a staff of only 11 officers, this provides an officer/resident ratio of 7.85 per 1,000 residents, over three times the state average of 2.5 per 1,000 residents. The Hillsdale PD has a fleet of vehicles equal or larger than the number of officers it has on staff; this includes numerous early-2000s Ford Crown Victorias and Chevrolet Impalas. This fleet changes rapidly, as Hillsdale tends to buy used cruisers and swap out lighting and equipment. Hillsdale PD is dispatched by St. Louis County's 2nd Precinct Dispatch. Hillsdale officers can frequently be seen on calls along with Velda City and Pine Lawn, and occasionally Wellston officers.
