CITIZENS ARE URGED TO REPORT NON-
EMERGENCY CITY ISSUES - IF YOU SEE
SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING
The “See Something, Say
Something” campaign can be used for more
issues other than crime reporting. Citizens
are encouraged to report discolored/rusty
water, “smelly” water, potholes, electrical
outages, water leaks, and other related
items for the City.
“We hope that citizens will report
needed repairs to the City,” says City
Manager Charles Davis. “See Something,
Say Something, goes beyond law
enforcement related activities. If your water
is discolored or smells, a street light is out,
a large pothole is on your street, or if you
notice a water leak, we want you to report it
to us so we can make the necessary
repairs.”
Citizens should continue to report
criminal related activities to the Police
Department Anonymous Crime Tip line, 260-
3600. For all other non-emergency
activities, citizens should call 311 or 912-
384-3302 to report repairs and non-criminal
incidents to the City.
