Police Services

The Emelle Police Department offers a range of services to residents, businesses, and visitors.

Patrol

Officers patrol town streets, residential areas, businesses, and roadways within the town limits. Patrol officers respond to calls for service, conduct traffic enforcement, check on businesses after hours, and provide a visible presence that discourages crime.

Filing a Police Report

To report a crime that has already occurred, such as theft, vandalism, or fraud, contact the department at (205) 286-2243 or visit 123 Dailey Ave. Please have the following information ready:

  • Your name, address, and a phone number where you can be reached
  • The date, time, and location of the incident
  • A description of what happened and any property involved, including serial numbers if known
  • Names or descriptions of any suspects, witnesses, or vehicles

Obtaining a Copy of a Report

Persons involved in an incident or crash may request a copy of the report from the department. Requests should include the date and location of the incident and the names of the parties involved. Certain information may be withheld as permitted by Alabama law, particularly for active investigations or reports involving juveniles. Alabama traffic crash reports may also be obtained through the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

Residential Vacation Checks

Going out of town? Residents may request that officers check on their home while they are away. Contact the department with your address, the dates you will be gone, an emergency contact, and whether any vehicles, lights on timers, or house-sitters should be expected at the property.

Senior Well-Being Checks

Family members who live out of town and cannot reach an elderly or vulnerable relative may ask the department to perform a well-being check. Officers will visit the residence and report back to the requesting family member.
