with one station for the entire village, the Fire
Department has grown to 4 stations and 85
paid per call firefighters. All firefighters receive
the same training as a full-time department
to handle a wide variety of incidents beyond
just fires. This dedicated group has a mission
to serve the community they live in and
provide safety education. They do this through
programs such as Fire Prevention Month,
Station Tours, and National Night Out.
LAKEVILLE POLICE

the Police Department have made it their
mission to reduce crime, solve problems and
ensure the quality of life in Lakeville. Chief Jeff
