Alpharetta Department of Public Safety

It is the mission of the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety to enhance the quality of life of those that live, work, and play in the City of Alpharetta.

They do things a little differently than your average emergency services department. Unlike most jurisdictions, their services are not separated into different departments. Police, fire, and 911 are all part of a single, streamlined team. This allows each service to work more closely, train more efficiently, and communicate together to provide the optimal service to those in Alpharetta. For the community they serve, that translates into low crime rates, faster responses to emergency calls, and the lowest possible ISO rating so homeowners enjoy lower insurance rates.
