Chief James Galagher
James Gallagher has been Chief of Police for Bloomfield Township since July 1, 2022.
He started in the BTPD in 2000 and has served as a Field Training Officer, a Dispatch Trained Officer and a member of the Oakland County Narcotics Team.
Partnering with other organizations and working together was instrumental in the success of stopping drug dealers when he served as a member of the Oakland County Narcotics Team. Building community relationships in the Township is key to a healthy police department and he looks forward to continuing the department bond with schools and other community partners. “Educating residents on safety such as gun safety and traffic safety is essential to a safe community – it does not begin and end with public safety officials," he said.
