DeKalb changes police records' hours

Residents can no longer pick up DeKalb County Police Department reports during their lunch break.

Starting March 7, the police department will close the central records’ office between 12:30-1:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday.

Records will be open 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 1:30-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday. Records will remain closed on Friday, Saturdays and Sundays.

The scheduling changes are part of the department’s efforts to be more “efficient with manpower,” police spokeswoman Mekka Parish said.
