Galesburg Police Department

The Galesburg Police Department, also known as GPD, is the police force of the City of Galesburg. Their headquarters is in the Galesburg City Hall at 55 W. Tompkins Street. Current Knox Director of Campus Safety John Schlaf used to be the Chief of Police there.

GPD doesn't tend to be terribly helpful and the police station is oftentimes devoid of any activity. Campus Safety is known to threaten students with a phone call to the Galesburg Police Department when they seem overly heedless of Campus Safety's authority; these threats rarely amount to anything. However, it's always worth the laugh to go check out the Winnebago that GPD was given by the Department of Homeland security to act as a mobile command unit in case of terrorist attack. It is parked behind the police station.
