Chief Sparks created Douglasville Community Outreach Program (DCOP) out of the Mission and Core Values of the Police Department.

Officers go out into the community and engage with citizens to promote the "one with our community" philosophy of the Douglasville Police Department.

The department's everyday principles are reflected in the daily operations of Law Enforcement, and citizen interaction.

In an effort to be pro-active in the gang arena, the Douglasville Police Department created the Youth Against Violence program.

For additional information, contact Lt. Ken Winklepleck 678-293-1749 or by email, or Chief Gary Sparks 678-293-1785 or by email.

The Douglasville Police Department has a community outreach location at 8304 Hollis Street in Douglasville. This house is used as a meeting point for members of the community and law enforcement.

We are building relationships with community partners to offer more to our citizens from this location. We are excited about this opportunity to serve!
