Description

The Newton Police Department believes that sharing information about criminal activity and the efforts of the Department helps to build trust and accountability. We provide information regarding police activity and calls for service to CrimeReports.com to provide an easy way for citizens to learn about the police department's activities.

This PSAP does receive a number of 9-1-1 calls where the caller disconnects with the dispatcher before speaking with anyone. The majority of these hang-up calls are by error but in some instances are discovered to be true emergencies. It is important for the caller to stay on the line in the event of an error. The call can only be disconnected by the dispatcher who will need to gain as much information about the call before passing it along to patrol officers. The policy of the Newton Police Department is that we will investigate every hang-up 9-1-1 call to ensure that no emergency exists.

By the establishment of a cooperative effort between the Newton Police Department, D.A.S.I. Services and community volunteers, a Domestic Violence Response Team has been developed. This team has been formed to provide the domestic violence victim with the opportunity to be provided with information and services, which exist to help them through the experience of being a domestic violence victim.
