What if my situation isn’t an emergency? How do I contact the Suffolk Police Department?
Not all incidents reach the level of an emergency. Still we desire to provide our citizens the best service we can. By calling the non-emergency number, 757-923-2350, you can access our departmental phone directory that will put you in contact with our various divisions and specialized units. For example, Animal Control, Traffic, Community Services and the Criminal Investigations Division can all be accessed utilizing the department phone directory.

If you need to have an officer respond to a non-emergency incident, when calling 757-923-2350, wait for the phone options to begin and then press “0” to be connected with a live call taker who will help provide you with the service you need.

You can also view our full staff directory for contact information.
