The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety offers residents the ability to view police activity via map or as a detailed data table accessible on the city’s website: www.tinyurl.com/AlpharettaPoliceActivity.

The site lists a detailed table showing the exact time, date and street address of police activity along with a brief description of the type of offense. Data indicates everything from traffic violations and motor vehicle accidents to robbery, theft, and missing persons.
