As a part of this city, our focus is on partnering as a team with our friends, neighbors and fellow community members. Martinsville has the finest men and women in law enforcement. We strive to work with our fellow residents. Together is the operative word as we utilize our strengths and skills to make our beloved community as safe and secure as possible for everyone who lives, works and visits here. We look forward to seeing you around town. Please say hello; we’d love to talk with you!
