The Rochester Hills Patrol Division is a division by itself since it maintains such a large contracted law enforcement presence within the City of Rochester Hills, the fourth largest city in Oakland County with 74,000 residents. In addition to performing the conventional duties of law enforcement, the Sheriff's Office maintains a substation in the City of Rochester Hills, which is open Monday-Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, affording residents the ability to:
- Have fingerprints taken.
- Place their house on the House Check List, providing extra patrol during extended periods of vacancy.
- Make reports of incidents or accidents when a police officer was not called to the scene.
- Have officers available to talk to community groups, homeowners' associations and businesses on topics of concern.
Police incident and Traffic Crash reports can be picked up from the substation typically within 3-5 business days. You can get a copy of Traffic Crash reports from CLEMIS typically after 7-10 business days. Copies of reports picked up from the Rochester Hills substation are $4 for the first page and $1 for each additional page thereafter. You can also get copies of all reports from the Sheriff's Office Records Division, located at 1201 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac, MI 48341.
