"COPS Connect" to communicate/solve crimes
In a concerted effort to establish good communications and build mutually trustful and respectful relationships with Johns Creek residents, the Johns Creek Police Department will launch its PACT (Police & Community Together) community policing program this fall. The goal of PACT is for police and residents to work together to solve crimes, identify underlying problems in neighborhoods to prevent future crimes, and clarify any misinformation about alleged criminal incidents.
A PACT officer will be assigned to each residential neighborhood or HOA subdivision as a point of contact, meeting on a regular basis with homeowners to discuss any law enforcement concerns. An email database for representatives of each of the City's 249 subdivisions will be used to distribute monthly "COPS Connect" newsletters and any necessary crime e-alerts. Residents can also sign up to receive "COPS Connect" as one of their City e-communications.
Questions regarding PACT should be addressed to Sgt. Debbie Kalish at 678-474-1587 or Community Services.

Area businesses sign up for SHIELD program
Business owners are signing up quickly for the Johns Creek Police Department’s first Community Service – SHIELD, a crime prevention/education program that "connects" area businesses with each other and the JCPD. The FREE program works very simply: a business owner/manager fills out an application, providing essential Emergency Contact Information to the JCPD, and then makes sure it's kept up-to-date.
“If a crime or incident involving a SHIELD business occurs, the JCPD will have an efficient way of contacting them,” said Sgt. Debbie Kalish, head of Community Services. Member receives regular email crime alerts, a SHIELD window sticker and classes in Burglary Prevention, Security Assessment Survey, Identity Theft Prevention and Check and Credit Card Fraud Prevention.
Interested in more information? Visit Community Services or contact Sgt. Debbie Kalish at 678-474-1587
