Police and Emergencies

Resident Information:

Police

Laketon Township residents receive their police protection from the Muskegon County Sheriff's Department and on a limited basis by the Michigan State Police. Laketon Township is a participating member township in the Partners In Neighborhood Safety (PINS) program. That means that Laketon Township has a Sheriff's deputy assigned to the township working various times and days. If you are in need of police assistance, call 911 and ask for a police officer. Do not specify a Deputy Sheriff or a State Police officer.

Fire Protection

Laketon Township provides our residents with fire protection under a contract with Muskegon Charter Township Fire Department. In addition, the fire departments from the City of North Muskegon and White Lake Fire Authority respond to alarms within our township through a mutual aid agreement. As a result of this agreement, our residents now enjoy the lowest fire insurance rates possible for our type of community. Up until 1998, Laketon Township had a fire rating of ten (10). Due to efforts of Muskegon Charter Township's Fire Chief and the mutual aid agreements with area fire departments, we now have a fire rating of five (5). For more information on this, residents are encouraged to contact the Fire Chief at (231) 773-4316.

Local Township Ordinances

Laketon Township has an ordinance enforcement officer to ensure that all ordinances are enforced and followed within the township.  Laketon Township relies on the complaints/reports from citizens to enforce the ordinances.  If you have a complaint or report of possible ordinance violations, please call the township offices at 231-744-2454.
