About Us
The City of Senoia Police Department handles any activity within the Senoia city limits. Under the direction of Chief Jason Edens, the Senoia Police Department covers approximately a 6.1 square mile area to provide around-the-clock public safety to approximately 6,100 residents and thousands of tourists.
The department is located at 505 Howard Road. The department consists of 18 sworn officers and 3 civilian employees. The department offers a full range of policing services, including preventive patrol, traffic enforcement, criminal investigations, crime prevention, and drug prevention.
The department operates under the community policing concept, which stresses involvement with the community, and placing resources where they are most needed. It also stresses trying to remove the root causes of crime and neighborhood deterioration. The department is structured into sections: Office of the Chief; Administrative Services Division; Field Operations Division and the Support Services Division.
The primary division of the department is the Field Operations Division. The Field Operations Division consists of patrol, which is responsible for preventive patrol, traffic enforcement, and response to calls for service. The Field Operations Division is divided into four shifts so that protection is provided 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Officers typically work a 42-hour workweek, counting time spent writing reports and attending the various courts in which their cases are presented.
The Support Services Division consists of the Criminal Investigations Unit and the School Resource Officer Program and K-9 team. There are three detectives assigned to the Criminal Investigations Unit, which are responsible for in-depth investigations of crimes in order to build successful cases for prosecution. The detectives work closely with the District Attorney’s staff and Investigators from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office. The Coweta County Charter Academy currently contracts the School Resource Officer position as an extra job position offered to all law enforcement in Coweta County.
