The Douglasville Police Department is guided by the, "We are One" philosophy of law enforcement. The Department seeks to build partnerships with residents, schools, and business owners to teach crime prevention and improve the overall quality of life.

We strive to accomplish this goal with the community through our various educational, informational, and charitable programs. Our Youth Against Violence Program teaches at risk youth about decision making and achieving goals. Our town hall meetings provide timely information to residents and members of the business community. Our DCOP program encourages citizen/police interaction by having officers go door to door in a neighborhood learning what concerns residents have. Monthly "Community Enrichment Meetings" are held at our Hollis Street Community House on the 2nd and 4th Thursday evenings at 7pm. Our "Coffee with a Cop" meeting is held periodically throughout the year. These programs and others foster a positive relationship between our officers and our community which in turn makes Douglasville a safer place to live.
