Police FAQs

In Johns Creek, you should call 911 anytime you need police or fire dispatched to you, your home or business.

The city’s 911 Emergency Communications Center, ChatComm, handles both emergency and non-emergency dispatch calls for our public safety responders.

For example, if you see suspicious behavior, but it’s not a crime in progress, call 911. Or, if you’re the victim of identity theft, call 911 and a police officer will be dispatched to you to make a report.

The JCPD’s main administrative number at 678-474-1600 (Mon-Fri, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.), however, remains your point of contact if you need a copy of a police report, a background check or if you have a general question about the JCPD or any of its Community Service programs.

There are two ways to file a report with the JCPD:

• Call 911 and an officer will be dispatched to your location (must be in Johns Creek) to take a report,

or

• Come to JCPD headquarters at 11360 Lakefield Drive, Johns Creek, GA 30097. Stop at the Records Department window in the lobby and ask for an officer to meet with you and take a report.

Contact the Evidence Unit at 678-474-1600 to ensure your property is available for retrieval, the proper paperwork has been completed and to set up an appointment to retrieve it.

It’s strongly suggested you call the Evidence Unit to arrange pickup first. Come to the police department lobby between 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and the Evidence Unit will be notified. Any arrangements for pick up outside of normal business hours will need to be pre-arranged with the Evidence Custodian.

Yes, you need to call 678-474-1572 prior to your arrival to arrange with the evidence custodian to complete the necessary paperwork.

To report a theft, call 911.

Most thefts are opportunistic in nature, so make it more difficult for the theft to take place. For example, never leave valuable objects (laptop, cell phone, purse, etc.) in open view inside your parked car.

Make sure you write down all your serial numbers and identification markings. Place the list in a safe place or two – maybe a list at home. If you are ever a victim, you can give the serial numbers and identification markings to the police to enter in the National Automated Property System. If anyone is caught with the property it can be identified as stolen and the culprit can be arrested.
