Recently, the Dalton Police Department launched a new website featuring interactive crime maps of the City of Dalton. Visitors to dpdonline.org can view a map of the city featuring pinpoints of each reported crime in the city in specified areas and over specified periods of time. Visitors can also sign up for email alerts from the department, including any emails specific to their individual section of the city.
It's part of the department's new Neighborhood Policing effort. Each officer in the department has been assigned a small neighborhood beat where they will devote extra patrol and also make contact with citizens to exchange contact information. The department has just posted a new resource citizens can use to find out which beat they live in, and also how to contact the officer assigned to their neighborhood. Click here to view a map of Dalton broken down into each individual beat. You can zoom in closer to find your neighborhood. Then, click on the beat number for your neighborhood to see a table with your officer's name, telephone extension, and email address. The Dalton Police Department hopes to increase the level of communication between the citizens of Dalton and our officers. We're hoping the citizens of Dalton will feel free to contact their neighborhood officer about things going on in their neighborhood, or simply to make contact and make introductions.
This is really nice. My mother lives close to down town Dalton and I am concerned about the crime in her neighborhood.
Thanks,
