Police Department
We are committed to your protection and we pledge, as always, to do our best to protect our community, to make it a safe and good place to live and work. We look to your cooperation in that regard. The more citizens know about preventing and avoiding crime, the better we in law enforcement can allocate our resources.
While we shoulder the primary task of your protection and of anticipating and investigating criminal activity, we are stronger with your help. We look to you to report crimes in progress as well as any suspicious activity, and to give evidence during investigations.
The advanced technology available to us today combined with the old-fashioned investigative police techniques of yesteryear, along with the help of our citizens, enable us to provide superior service to protect and serve our wonderful community.

The Village of Montgomery D.A.R.E. Program (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) objectives are to educate our youths about issues such as alcohol, tobacco, violence prevention and substance abuse. The students will also learn methods of how to resist the pressures to begin using drugs. Students will increase their awareness and knowledge as measured by program testing. The culmination ceremony at the end of the program recognizes individual achievements of all participants and reinforces the values and skills that they have acquired.
Our D.A.R.E. Program is presented in a classroom setting by Officer Kristopher Kolvenbach. Students will participate in classroom discussions and activities, which include individual and group role participation. The officers will also be participating in miscellaneous school and community activities.
Our officers not only serve as role models, but as a credible source of information regarding drugs and abuse. Additionally, through interaction with children in a "non-enforcement" role, friendship, mutual respect and understanding are fostered. We feel it is important for children to build positive relationships with law enforcement at an early age, and we have experienced the value of these relationships through our middle school and high school graduates. Assisting these youths throughout their developmental years by the reinforcement of "life skills" has been rewarding for all – the youth, their parent/guardian and the D.A.R.E. officers. There is no doubt that we have made a positive impact as evidenced by the long-standing relationships that are maintained with our DARE graduates.
Should you have any questions or comments about the D.A.R.E. program please reach out to Officer Kolvenbach at our station at (845)457-3666.
