The Glasgow Police Department was established on June 7, 1938, when officers were appointed for 2-year terms by the city council, the salary of the police chief was $160 a month and police officers made $90 a month (paid by fees collected for criminal fines). The first chief of police was George Berry.
The Glasgow Police Department is now under the direction of Chief Guy J. Turcotte and employs 34 police officers. The department is comprised of two divisions: the operations division, which contains the patrol, and telecommunications division; and the support services division, which controls the criminal investigation unit, training, hiring, special events and educational programs. The school resource program is also an important part of this section. Officer Howard Garrison is assigned to the Glasgow High School and Glasgow Middle School as the school resource officer.
The Glasgow Police Department also offers a variety of community programs. The "Adopt a Cop" program is comprised of a number of safety presentations which are delivered in the city schools. Some topics of interest in the program are: Bullying, rights of the teacher, identity theft, home safety, seat belt safety, drug awareness, internet predators, and responsible cell phone use and bus safety. The department also utilizes Crime Stoppers and the Neighborhood Watch programs.
The police department conducts a Citizens Police Academy twice a year. This program is geared towards local citizens who are interested in learning about the operations of the police department.
