What Georgetown Police Department does

The Georgetown Police Department is the municipal law enforcement agency for the City of Georgetown, Kentucky, operating under the administrative authority of Mayor Burney Jenkins and the City Council as part of the unified city government structure. The department delivers public safety services to Georgetown residents, businesses, and visitors, organized into five operational divisions: Patrol (structured across three shifts under dedicated lieutenants), Criminal Investigations Division (CID) with embedded Victim's Advocate services, Traffic, Special Operations (encompassing Community Relations and the Recovery Support Team), and the 911 Communications Center, which dispatches for both Georgetown and Scott County. Additional functions include Administrative Staff, records management, recruitment, and a Transparency Portal for public access to departmental reports. The department's command staff comprises Chief of Police Darin Allgood, Assistant Chief Josh Nash, and Police Captains Nick Lodal and Lewis Crump.

The department's technology platform centers on 24/7 911 dispatch operations, computer-aided dispatch (CAD) capabilities, and the Tip411 anonymous crime-tip submission system accessible via mobile and web. Community engagement is operationalized through multiple structured programs: the Citizen Police Academy (CPA), JrCPA youth program, Are You Okay senior welfare checks, Yellow Dot, Open Arms, the Recovery Support Team (Angel Program, Casey's Law support, Naloxone Storage Box Locations), and property-check, ride-along, and collision-report online request portals. Marketing and resident outreach are conducted through the City of Georgetown's official website, Facebook page, and YouTube channel.

The department is funded through municipal tax allocations as a line item within the City of Georgetown annual budget; it does not operate a commercial revenue model and does not have external investors. Ancillary fees exist for administrative services such as open records copies ($0.10-$0.35 per page), CDs ($2.00), and flash drives ($8.00-$12.00), but these are immaterial to total funding. The go-to-market is direct-to-citizen: services are accessed via 911 for emergencies, non-emergency phone lines, the administrative office at 550 Bourbon Street, or online portals. There is no competitive market — the department holds exclusive statutory jurisdiction for policing within Georgetown, KY.
