Chief's Message

Greetings,

It is an honor to be your Chief of Police and I am very excited to be working in the City of Gladstone.  Law Enforcement is an ever changing profession that requires professionalism, ethics and above all character.   The Police Officers patrolling your neighborhoods are well trained professionals who are passionate about the City of Gladstone.  My promise to them and to you is that we will continue to grow and maintain a high standard of professionalism and legitimacy in our policing strategies, to include transparency in all we do.  Partnering and working with our community is the recipe for success and we as a police department will continue to work with community members to help develop a vibrant community.  I recognize the Gladstone Community supports its police department and we will not take that support for granted.  Every day we will work to earn that support and trust.

Sincerely,

John Schmerber, Chief of Police
