History

The Wyandotte Police Department has been housed in several locations over the years; however there are no records regarding the location of the City Jail prior to 1881. In 1881 the Wyandotte Police Department was located on the southwest corner of Biddle and Elm in City Hall.

In 1918 the Wyandotte Police Department moved into the building of J.H. Bishop Company on Van Alstyne and Chestnut. In 1921 the Police Department moved to the southeast corner of Biddle and Pine the old Detroit Shipbuilding Company. In 1959 the Wyandotte Police Department moved to a 17,000 sq. ft. structure at the southeast corner of Biddle and Ford. The building also served as the location of the 27th District Court.
Growth caused building additions in 1980, and again in 1990.
