The entire city is surrounded on all sides by the City and County of Denver. Therefore, as a municipal entity, it is also an enclave. Glendale's fire and medical services have been provided by the Denver Fire Department and Denver Paramedics through a contract by the City and County of Denver since 2005. Glendale is policed by the Glendale Police Department.

Politics and character Glendale is remarkable for having its own political party, the Glendale Tea Party (libertarian). The Glendale Tea Party is associated with the city's several strip clubs, and was co-founded by Debbie Matthews, owner of well-known Shotgun Willie's strip club. Local politics tend to revolve around those who support and those who oppose the Tea Party, and around homeowners' association politics which often overlap with City issues.In December 2003, Glendale suffered one of its most tragic events when an apartment fire at Spanish Gate apartments took the life of one resident, Nancy Weaver, and the homes of 84 other residents. The Spanish Gate Fire brought 70 firefighters from five departments. Although Glendale's fire department was eventually subsumed by that of The Denver Fire Department through an agreement between the two municipalities, talks surrounding the merger began a year before the deadly fire. Nearly seven years later, the Spanish Gate property remains empty and fenced off, apparently due to the high cost of asbestos removal.[citation needed] The Denver-Glendale fire services agreement will cost Glendale $1.8 million a year, an annual savings of $1 million.Denver's NOAA Weather Radio transmitter KEC-76 is stated as being located in Glendale, however the Transmitter site is considered to be a part of Denver County. Infinity Park Infinity Park is a new, mixed-use municipal space currently under development. It is adjacent to the Glendale municipal buildings and courthouse. Infinity Park will comprise the bulk of a 2-block area located between Cherry St and Birch St (east/west), and E Kentucky Ave and E Mississippi Ave (north/south). When complete, Infinity Park will include an event center, recreation center, park and stadium. In 2007, Glendale completed the first phase of construction when it opened the first municipal U.S. Rugby Stadium. The rugby stadium has a seating capacity of 5000 people, which is more than the population of Glendale. The rugby stadium is home to the city's nationally-ranked rugby team known as the Glendale Raptors. The facility has become one of the premiere rugby venues in the United states. It regularly hosts USA Rugby national championship matches and has also played host to the Churchill Cup in 2009 and 2010 which is the premiere North American International Rugby Tournament. In July 2008, the park completed the second phase of construction by opening a 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) recreation and sports center. The recreation center is operated by the YMCA of Metropolitan Denver. In November 2008, the park will open a state-of-the-art event center featuring accommodation for 800 guests in banquet-style setting, thus completing the third phase of construction. The park will be the fourth and final phase of construction. Four Mile House Another interesting site in Glendale is the Four Mile Historic Park. This 12-acre (49,000 m2) rural site is home to metropolitan Denver's oldest house, Four Mile House. The Four Mile House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1859, Four Mile House once served as a stage stop, wayside inn, and tavern for travelers on the Cherokee Trail on their way to Denver City. Today the Four Mile Historic Park houses a museum, summer camp, and events center. It also rests partially outside the city limits of Glendale, in Denver.
