Chief's Welcome
Welcome back to our COPS Connect newsletter. We hope our previous issues have been very informative, transparent, and able to give you a good snapshot of what is going on with your Police Department and around the City of Johns Creek. Our partnership and connection with you are so vital to the engagement and genuine bond we have with our citizens. It is our duty to equip you with knowledge of our police procedures, best practices, and the why behind what we do each day in service to our great and very supportive community.

Trunk or Treat photos
Ghosts, goblins, princesses, pirates, and more! We had so much fun seeing all of the costumes and passing out candy at this year's Trunk or Treat.

And, congrats to the Office of the Chief, which won the Best Trunk for its version of "Raya & The Last Dragon!"
Halloween Safety Tips
  1. Carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help kids see and be seen by drivers.
  2. Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating.
  3. Slow down and be alert! Kids are excited on Halloween and may dart into the street. Turn on headlights early in the day to spot kids from further away.
  4. Remind kids to cross the street at corners or crosswalks.
  5. When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls. Choose face paint over masks when possible. Masks can limit children’s vision.
