Raising funds for new animal control shelter
The Highland Police Department is launching an all-hands-on-deck fundraising campaign for a new animal control shelter. The goal: $300,000 to fund construction of a new short-term housing facility for strays and lost pets. The new animal control shelter will be built in partnership with Munster just south of the current building. The plan is to expand its footprint from 15 feet by 15 feet to 15 feet by 30 feet. Last year, the facility cared for 98 dogs – 83 from Highland and 15 from Munster.

Emergency Contacts
The Highland Police Department Emergency Contact Service is designed to save precious seconds when it matters most. Police urge seniors and those who have a handicap or disability to be proactive. The process is simple. Fill out a form that lists a trusted contact. Individuals on the form should be able to respond quickly in emergency situations with a key to the residence.

Crime Watch
This program involves the community along with the police department to take offensive action against crime and other social problems. You can help our police department by becoming a concerned citizen and informing the police of anything that involves actual or potential criminal activities or danger. Valuable information can be provided by you since you are many times the only one in the position to know or observe what is occurring. Keeping Highland safe from crime and other problems should be everybody's goal. We all want to enjoy a peaceful community free of crime. Community policing through Neighborhood Watch will make our town a better and safer place to live.
Please note: Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, public meetings have been canceled until further notice.
Bike Path Safety
Since an on-demand crossing light was installed on 45th Street at the bike trail, pedestrians, bikeriders and skateboarders have never been safer. The non-traditional traffic lighting system – known as a Hawk Beacon – is just one of the safeguards in place to keep trails and paths throughout town worry-free. Click here to learn more.
License Plate Violations
State law requires residents moving into the state must acquire Indiana registration plates for their vehicles within 60 days (or sooner if their plates are expiring) of moving into the state. Click here to learn more.
Speed Control Sign
Having received a very positive response from the public in regards to our mobile traffice speed sign, the Highland Police Department now has four signs that are placed in areas of concern. Data collected from the device is used to establish days/times for traffic reinforcement, thus, placing police resources when and where they need to be to deal with problem drivers. Please email Cmdr. John Banasiak at [email protected]
or call (219) 838-3184 x 3304 for a suggested site near you.
