Fairview operates its own police department, which consists of a chief, twelve full-time officers, and one reserve officer. Dispatch and jail services for the department are handled by the Collin County Sheriff's Office. The current chief of police is Granver Tolliver. Chief Tolliver has more than three decades of police experience, during which time he became the youngest ever deputy chief for the City of Dallas. In addition, he worked in Lockhart, Texas and as a deputy constable in Dallas County.

Department

The Fairview Police Department promotes a service-oriented policing philosophy. Although safety is our number one concern, we truly care about how we deliver police service to our community. It is not uncommon to see a Fairview Police Officer assisting a stranded motorist or helping change a flat tire in the heat or cold.

It is our mission, to provide Fairview residents, business clientele, and visitors with a genuine sense of safety through presence, collaboration, crime prevention, enforcement, and personal assistance.
Our goal is to fulfill the mission by selecting superior quality individuals and providing them with excellent training, equipment, and guidance that exemplifies competence, friendliness and fairness.
Although our police department is small in size, we remain on the cutting edge of new technology, equipment, and training. In addition to providing basic patrol and traffic functions, many of our officers are crossed trained to perform specialized police functions as outlined below
