City Services
For emergencies, citizens should call 911. For time-sensitive response, call the dispatch number for the request to be given to an officer on duty. The numbers and emails of Neighborhood Police Officers are to be used for non-emergency neighborhood issues. Email or leave a message and the NPO will call you back when available.
Tips
- Keep your eyes open - residents are more likely to recognize suspicious activity than police because they are more familiar with the neighborhood.
- Report suspicious activity! Police officers can't be everywhere at one time, and a report can provide the probable cause needed to check out a possible crime.
