| In order to effectively provide and disseminate information to the community and the news media, the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department (SCMPD) must establish and maintain media relations procedures. This ensures the timely and effective distribution of information, which allows the public to be informed, yet safeguards against the release of information which could impede ongoing investigations or damage the integrity and rights afforded to victims.
Citizen involvement in solving crime in Savannah-Chatham County is an essential component of the daily successes the department enjoys. The SCMPD Public Affairs Office will continue to provide information that is complete, accurate, and up to date.
Please find below previous news releases including news articles and other announcements generated by the SCMPD Public Affairs Office for public release.
