Police Policies and Directives

As an additional measure of transparency and accountability, the Grand Junction Police Department posts our directives on our website for the community to review.  Please note that some directives are not listed.  A few directives that are sensitive in nature and could potentially compromise employee safety, investigative or tactical operations have been omitted. Directives are regularly reviewed for accuracy, relevance, and best practices; updated or modified versions of directives will be shared as they are approved and adopted into policy.
