About Our Police Department: Our primary responsibility may be law enforcement, but our approach and philosophy are based on the fundamental mission of enhancing the quality of life of everyone who lives, works, and plays in Alpharetta. Focusing on that mission means that we sometimes take non-traditional approaches to community policing, crime prevention, and working with the public. Yes, we do investigate crimes, make arrests, and write traffic tickets, but we work very hard to build strong relationships with the people we serve, educate the public, and address community issues so that less crime occurs and everyone enjoys a better life in Alpharetta.
That mission and how we approach policing has earned the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety amazing support from the community and enables us to attract the finest Police Officers who have chosen this profession to serve the public.
