Community-oriented policing is a concept which has been around since the beginning stages of organized law enforcement. It relies heavily on the cooperation of the public and its policing partner. Without the additional support of the community's "eyes and ears" law enforcement would be even harder than it is.
We encourage any reports of suspicious activity, and welcome anyone with a need for a police officer to call 911 in our city, since the Douglas County 911 center dispatches all calls for the police and fire departments. For residents living in the county's jurisdiction, the number for the Douglas County Sheriff's Office is 770-942-2121.
