Statement from David Mills, Chief of Police, on March 24, 2020
The Tazewell Police Department remains fully operational, staffed and ready to respond to the needs of our community. Our officers will continue to respond to all emergencies, in-progress calls, and other priority responses.
However, based on the COVID-19 epidemic, and by following protocols and recommendations currently in place by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Virginia Department of
Health (VDH); we will be making the following adjustments to limit exposure and the spread of COVID-19 within our department and community.
• When calling our dispatch (276)988-2503 or 9-1-1 or the non-emergency number (276)988-0902 please provide a call back number whenever possible.
• If you or someone in your home are sick, we ask that you disclose this information to the dispatcher. Officers may contact you via telephone before arrival to assess the
need for an in-person response.
• For minor reports, officers will likely complete the report without personal
interaction.
• If you summons the police to your home, be prepared to step outside and meet with the officer in an open environment. This is consistent with the recommended social distancing to curb the spread of this illness.
• Our Police Department lobby will remain open to the public; however,.at this time we will be suspending our fingerprinting services until further notice.
Walk-in complaints should be done on a limited basis. Should you visit our office and need an officer, just notify the dispatcher in the lobby and they will determine the officer’s response.
If you have a question about COVID-19, please contact the Virginia Department of Health at (877)275-8343.
This is a difficult time for all of us. We are living through a historic event. Be sure to check on each other; especially the elderly. Run errands for those who should not be out, share resources, and show kindness. We are all in this together, and we will get through this as a community,
region, state, and country. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this challenging time
