Investigations

The reporting of criminal activity is initially taken by a uniformed patrol officer. If the case requires follow-up investigation the report is assigned to a Criminal Investigator. The assigned Investigator will conduct the necessary follow up investigation of the crime and maintain contact with the victim throughout. Every available resource will be used to solve the crime.

If you are the victim of a crime please call 706-282-3244. If there is an emergency and you feel your life is in danger, dial 9-1-1. Filing a false police report is a felony.

Drug Investigations

The City of Toccoa Police Department has adopted a "zero tolerance" attitude in enforcing drug violations. It is the opinion of the Toccoa Police Department that most crimes (forgery, assault, etc.) are directly related to drug offenders. The Toccoa Police Department takes an aggressive approach on assets forfeitures against those offenders who are charged with selling drugs. These assets are then used against the drug offenders after adjudication of the case.

Example:
A home is burglarized, or a store is robbed at gunpoint. In most cases, the motive for these crimes can easily be traced to illegal drugs. How? The most common motive involves the offenders needing money to buy illegal drugs or pay outstanding drug debts. Often during the execution of Drug Search Warrants, Officers seize stolen property from thefts and burglaries. It is very common for drug users to trade merchandise in exchange for illegal drugs.

We realize that Drug Enforcement is a key factor in controlling crime rates. Our Drug Unit works closely with all surrounding agencies (local, state and federal). Working together or networking with other agencies is critical to effective Drug Enforcement. We, as Law Enforcement professionals, realize that our efforts are more successful if we work together as a team.
