Vehicle Lockout Assistance
In times when some departments are stopping the practice of helping citizens who have inadvertently locked their keys in their vehicles, the Defiance Police Department is proud to continue this practice. The citizens will have to sign a liability card holding the Defiance Police Department blameless in case of damage to the lock mechanism when unlocking the door.
