The Perry Police Department (PPD) page is created and maintained by the Public Information Office for the purpose of communicating with the community we serve.. The PPD page is provided for the department to share information on specific topics of interest including community engagement initiatives, public safety notifications, public education/awareness, etc. We will update this
page as often as possible to share as much as we can about the department as well as other relevant community information. All posting of comments on this page are at the discretion of the page administrators. The intent of this policy is not to keep any negative or critical information from being posted, but to protect the privacy and rights of our residents, our active/ongoing investigations, and others whose information maybe inadvertently shared on this platform. Facebook shall not be perceived as a formal reporting system for complaints against others or against the department. All emergency complaints shall be reported by dialing 9-1-1 and non-emergency complaints by calling 585-237-5445. Slander, harassment, or the negative naming of specific employees or residents will not be allowed. The page administrators will review all postings to ensure they do not violate this policy.
