Friday check-in, Cobb County! What’s one good thing that happened in your week?

[Cobb County Police Department @CobbPoliceDept]

Just a reminder, when you see an officer conducting a traffic stop on the side of the road, move over when it’s safe to do so.

If you can’t safely move over, slow down and be prepared to stop.

A little extra space helps keep everyone safe.

Quick reminder, Cobb County: If you see something suspicious, trust your instincts and report it. For emergencies, call 911. For non-emergencies, contact Cobb County Police at 770-499-3911.

@lcj2137 Cobb County does not have a mayor. Our officers enforce state and local laws within our jurisdiction. Enforcement decisions are based on the circumstances of each incident, applicable law and officer discretion, not a mayoral administration.

Good morning, Cobb County! What's something you've always wondered about police work, but never had the chance to ask?

[Cobb County Police Department @CobbPoliceDept]

@mdv21277 That’s a good question! We don’t have that number handy, but with officers patrolling across the county 24/7, our vehicles definitely stay busy. We’ll have to check with our Fleet Management team for that one.

[Cobb County Police Department @CobbPoliceDept]

@baxter1265 Great question! Our patrol areas are divided into precincts, zones and beats. Officers are assigned to a beat for their shift, but those assignments can change based on staffing and call volume. So, your neighborhood doesn’t necessarily have the same officer every day.

[Cobb County Police Department @CobbPoliceDept]

@TheBaconGuy East-West Conn. crosses multiple jurisdictions. Depending on the location, it may fall within CCPD Precinct 2, Precinct 3 or the City of Smyrna. If you witness dangerous driving or an ongoing traffic violation, please contact the appropriate jurisdiction to report it.

[Cobb County Police Department @CobbPoliceDept]

@threeshavvv Good question! When we aren’t responding to calls, we’re usually in our beats conducting traffic stops, proactive patrols, completing reports or following up on incidents. We return to the precinct when needed, but most of our shift is spent out in the community.

[Cobb County Police Department @CobbPoliceDept]

@MrJohnMcKinney Thank you! We’re fortunate to have dedicated officers who show up every day to serve Cobb County. We appreciate the support!

[Cobb County Police Department @CobbPoliceDept]

@Susurrate1 😂 We see what you did there.
