From the Desk of the Chief

As Chief of Police, I can assure you this department is staffed with a great group of people who work hard to keep our city safe.  We are all committed to treating people with respect, integrity, fairness and professionalism, every day with every person.  

I believe police officers are often the most tangible aspect of government and as representatives; we must continually work to earn and maintain the public trust.  While our first priority is to protect life and property, working with our citizens to improve the quality of life is where police officers can have the greatest impact.  I encourage all of our officers to find ways to interact with the community to improve our city.  At the same time, I encourage the public to find ways to interact with their government.  This is where communication is crucial and I look forward to your suggestions and input. 

The police department is open during business hours, Monday through Friday, if you would like to come in person, or you can call 970-858-3008 during business hours.  I can also be contacted directly at dkrouse@fruita.org.

Sincerely,

Dave Krouse, Chief of Police
