The primary mission of the Fairburn Police Department is “to provide outstanding police service to the community and promote a peaceful living environment for our residents.” The Police Department enforces the law in a fair and impartial manner, recognizing both the statutory and judicial limitations of police authority and the constitutional rights of all persons. The Police Department recognizes that no law enforcement agency can operate at its maximum potential without supportive input from the citizens it serves. The Department actively solicits and encourages the cooperation of all citizens to reduce and limit the opportunities for crime. To facilitate the optimum use of resources for crime suppression, we urge citizens to call 770 964 1441 to report suspicious persons or activities.

State Certification
The Fairburn Police Department is now part of an elite group of law enforcement agencies in Georgia who have earned the State Certification designation. This certification requires our agency to comply with the highest professional standards of police service as established by the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police. The Agency is re-evaluated every three years by the Association to ensure continued compliance.

Organization
The Agency is comprised of four divisions; the Office of the Chief, the Uniform Patrol Division, the Criminal Investigative Division, and the Support Services Division.

The Office of the Chief is comprised of the Chief of Police, the Deputy Chief of Police, and two Lieutenants.

The Patrol Division is divided into four shifts and commanded by two Shift Lieutenants. The individual shifts are supervised by a shift Sergeant. The members of the patrol shifts respond to calls-for-service, traffic crashes, and crime scene searches. They conduct misdemeanor and felony investigations, and institute proactive programs to reduce crime and the fear of crime in the city. All members of the division help to create solutions to observed problems and nurture our community policing principles. Each shift is equipped with a certified police K-9 and handler.

The Investigative Division is commanded by a Detective Lieutenant. The members of the Criminal Investigative Division conduct in-depth criminal investigations. The team also maintains the Agency’s on site crime lab, performs forensic evidence collection and processing, while safeguarding evidence and property. This team also coordinates with local, state and federal agencies to accomplish tasks associated with enforcement, prosecution and asset forfeiture.

The Support Services Division includes the Office of Professional Standards, Logistics, Court Services, and Administrative Services. The Division is commanded by two Lieutenants and a Civilian Supervisor who each report directly to the Chief of Police. The Office of Professional Standards is responsible for the Agency’s recruiting, training, internal affairs, and the facilitation of promotional processes. The Office of Logistics handles the acquisition and maintenance of Agency property, evidence, and equipment. The Court Services Officer serves as the Agency’s liaison to the courts and is responsible for managing the Agency’s court cases, subpoenas, jail roster, and other associated activities. The Administrative Services duties include, but are not limited to, customer service, data entry, maintenance of police records, and crime analysis.
