Police

LPD_BadgeThe Loganville Police Department is a full-service agency providing emergency response and preventative patrol 24 hours a day. The department consists of thirty-one sworn and five administrative personnel, assigned to the Uniform Patrol, Criminal Investigations, Youth Investigations, Administrative and Code Enforcement divisions. 

Our Uniform Patrol Division is the most visible representative of the Agency, and arguably the City government. They average answering 30,000 calls for service annually to include more than 1,000 vehicle accidents. 

Our Criminal Investigations Division detectives work on a variety of cases ranging from simple thefts to complex financial crimes, sex crimes and death investigations. One detective is currently assigned to a Federal narcotics task force and is responsible for the seizure of tons of illicit drugs and hundreds of thousands of dollars in currency, vehicles and property each year. 

Our Youth Investigations section not only provides School Resource Officers to both Bay Creek Elementary School and Loganville High School, but also coordinates our Neighborhood Watch and other community outreach programs. Through their innovative and strategic initiatives, we have been the recipients of multiple State and National awards for our School Resource Officer Program. 

Our Administrative Division includes the Georgia Criminal Intelligence Network liaison, Open Records, Evidence and Property, and Code Enforcement. Each month, we receive nearly five hundred Open Records Requests from the public, attorneys and the media. Our Code Enforcement officer responds to citizen complaints as well as proactively seeks out code violations and works with property owners to ensure compliance with City ordinances. 

The Loganville Police Department is committed to leveraging available technology as a force multiplier as well as giving us a technological advantage in the prevention and investigation of crime. To this end, we have available a drone with night vision and mapping capabilities and multiple software packages for analyzing cell phone data. Each of our patrol units is equipped with in-car video and Automated License Plate Reader systems, and we have installed ten FLOCK camera systems on our State highways. Each officer is equipped with the best protective equipment and technology available, and we have successfully linked all of our in-car, body camera and interview room systems. 

The Loganville Police Department has a very active internal training program and last year we logged over 3,300 cumulative training hours. We have on staff three certified Use of Force Instructors, and we are certified as meeting all requirements under the United States Department of Justice Safer Streets use of force policies and practices. We recognize our utmost responsibility for the protection of all human life, and through providing state-of-the-art training on our use of force simulator, and providing a variety of less lethal tools to our officers, we strive to ensure we have multiple options available for gaining compliance. 

It is our goal every day to ensure we are gaining the public’s trust and treating all citizens with dignity, regardless of the circumstances, while upholding our core values of Respect, Courage, Honor and Integrity.
