The City of Pleasant Grove Police Department is a progressive, professional law enforcement agency that uses a proactive approach to keep the city safe and secure.

As a result, the Pleasant Grove Police Department maintains a Top 10 Safest Cities in Alabama ranking and strives to always provide an environment where families can raise their children and live their lives without the burden or fear of crime.
The Police Department is commanded by Chief Daniel (Danny) Reid, who began his career in Pleasant Grove in 1993 and has worked in every rank and assignment from Dispatcher to Chief. The day-to-day operations of the department are led by Lt. James (Josh) Williamson who has over 14 years of experience in law enforcement.
The 19-man department is structured into four (4) teams of patrol officers, working 12-hour shifts, and available 24/7, 365 days a year. Each team of patrol officers is commanded by a Sergeant, with two revolving Corporals.
In addition to patrol, the department maintains a full-time detective office, drone operator, SWAT team, evidence technicians, and Code Enforcement Officer.
