POLICE
The Eatonton Police Department at 214
West Marion houses the City Jail, the
police Department and the Municipal Court.
Our crew of 29 police officers and handles about 2,000
traffic citations per year and about 1,000 other incidents.
Recently awarded a Wal-Mart Community Grant, we have used
this grant to conduct
community information sessions. Using a Special
Local Option Sales Tax, or SPLOST, we have been able to bring
uniformity to our fleet of Police vehicles so that visitors
and residents alike will know that the Eatonton Police is on
the job. The silver gray fleet is boldly emblazoned
with Eatonton Police. If you need assistance please
cal the Police at 706-485-3551. You can pay traffic
citations on line at www.ticketfastpay.com
FIRE
The Eatonton Fire Department has both a
paid and a
volunteer force located at 214 West Marion
Street beside the Police Department. Our crews can be seen training each month throughout the
City. By using a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax,
or SPLOST, each firefighter in the City of Eatonton's
fire fighting force has been outfitted with all new turn-out
gear and new breathing apparatus. Additionally we have
added to our fleet of fire trucks. To go along with the new
E-ONE pumper engine already in service, we have been able to
add another E-ONE pumper and a 65 foot ladder truck that
is more than able to reach the top of the tallest structure
in town or out in the county.
