Services
 Prisoners and Bonds
Inquiries about prisoners held at the Farmington Hills Police
Department and how to bond a prisoner out of our jail can be directed to
Police Command Desk personnel by calling (248) 871-2610. The Court sets
the amount of a bond. Individuals charged with felonies, or certain
types of misdemeanors, are not eligible for bond until they go to court
and are arraigned. After a prisoner is arraigned, he or she will
be transferred to the Oakland County Jail, located at 1200 Telegraph
Road in Pontiac, (248) 858-4950, unless bond is posted before being
transported.
Vehicle Lockouts
 If you are locked out of your car, you should call a towing
service or a locksmith. The Farmington Hills police will only respond
in emergencies. In cases of a child locked in a vehicle, it shall be
considered a rescue and the Fire Department, along with a patrol
officer, will be sent. If police assist under these circumstances, you
must sign a waiver of liability for any damage which may occur.
Extra Police Patrols
 If you live or work in Farmington Hills and feel that the
police should be aware of certain information (such as on-going
problems, suspicious activity, inability to protect property, stalking,
or continued victimization of a crime), you should call the Farmington
Hills police at (248) 871-2610 and provide the information to a Command
Desk Officer. This information will be provided to every patrol officer
prior to going on duty. If you are going on vacation you can call the
Vacation Hot Line at (248) 871-2762.
Animal Complaints
 A missing or runaway pet or any complaint
regarding stray pets, should be reported to the Oakland County Animal
Shelter at (248) 391-4102, or the Farmington Hills Police Department at
(248) 871-2610. All lost or stray pets found by the Farmington Hills
Police Department are turned over to the Oakland County Animal Shelter.
Personal Protection Orders
A Personal Protection Order, commonly known as a “PPO.” is a court
order that protects you from being harassed, beaten, assaulted,
molested, wounded, or stalked. The PPO prohibits a named individual
from doing these things to you. It also prohibits the named individual
from entering your premises and removing your children, unless there is
an overriding court order.
To obtain a PPO you must go to the Oakland County Circuit Court (6th
Circuit Court) at 1200 North Telegraph in Pontiac, and request a
“do-it-yourself PPO packet.” You must follow the instructions carefully
when filling out the forms. The forms are then forwarded to a Judge.
To have a named individual served notice of the PPO, you can contact
the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Civil Division, located in the same
complex, at 1200 North Telegraph in Pontiac, or call (248) 858-4951.
