It’s easy sometimes to forget that, at the start and end of every day, we’re all in this together. BPD has worked hard this week, and each day since we began operations in 2013, to earn and keep the trust of our public. This week we’ve given you extra insight into our department, and we’ll continue doing that on our webpage. And, as always, we hope you’ll continue to our engage us on social media, by email, on our website, and especially in person. The best way to learn more about our officers is by talking to them, and our officers are always ready to listen. Remember that we’re more than nameless, faceless uniforms. We’re husbands, daughters, fathers, mothers, and brothers. We come from every background, and all walks of life. We’re your Brookhaven P.D., and we'll be here when you need us.

Are you a young person, aged 14-21 who's completed the 8th grade and is interested in policing as a career path? Consider joining the Brookhaven Police Explorers! Our next meeting is Thursday, June 25th from 7:00-9:00pm at Brookhaven Police Headquarters. See you there!

The Brookhaven Police Explorer meetings scheduled for March 19, March 26, and April 02 are CANCELED.

Brookhaven Police Announce Temporary Department Changes Due to COVID-19.

Effective Tuesday, March 17, 2020 and continuing through March 30, 2020, Brookhaven Police Headquarters will be closed to the public. The Brookhaven Municipal Court -which is housed in the same building as Police Headquarters- will also close to the public. During this closure, routine administrative services performed in the lobby of Police Headquarters will be temporarily discontinued, including records requests, permit applications, and background checks. In addition, non-emergent calls for service where a suspect is not on scene will be handled by telephone. When contacting the police department, please leave a telephone number at which you can be re-called; an officer will respond by telephone to the call for service, including taking a report if necessary. For service calls which require a police officer’s response, residents should expect the officer to maintain CDC-recommended distances.

Please know that during this facilities closure, the Brookhaven Police Department will continue to provide professional, high quality, and effective police services to all those in our community. 9-1-1 services are fully operational, officers are prepared to respond to calls, laws will be enforced, and our City will remain protected. By making these small changes, we are doing our part to support the CDC-recommended “social distancing” that can help slow the spread of COVID-19. We are also safeguarding essential staff and public safety personnel to ensure continuity of services and support of emergency operations for our City.

The City has established a dedicated webpage dedicated to publishing COVID-19 updates at: https://www.brookhavenga.gov/community/page/coronavirus-information

Links to requests for records which can be produced digitally, including incident and crash reports, may be found at: https://www.brookhavenga.gov/police

Non-Emergent requests for city services may be submitted online at: https://www.brookhavenga.gov/community/page/brookhaven-connect-service-request

Court-specific updates, including affected court dates and rescheduling, can be found at: www.brookhavenga.gov/court.

This weekend our Explorers traveled to Gatlinburg, TN for the annual Winterfest Competition. The event drew 3,000 participants from 111 Law Enforcement agencies across the southeast. Our explorers competed in: Interview & Interrogation (5th place); Burglary in Progress (6th place); Fingerprinting (8th place); Accident Investigation (9th place); Drug Identification, Officer Survival, Employment Interview and the Written Exam. They drove through rain, arrived in a flood, and stayed through the snow! In addition to the official events, the group found plenty of time for camaraderie and fun!

Are you or someone you know aged 14-21 and interested in a career in law enforcement? If so, join us for an explorer meeting every Thursday night from 7pm-9pm at Brookhaven Police Headquarters! Or email Sgt. David Snively: [email protected]
