General Information
 Welcome
to the Pigeon Forge Police Department Internet Web Site.
Whether you live or work in Pigeon Forge, or are one of our millions of
visitors each year, this is an excellent opportunity for you to learn more about
the operations of our department as well as the talented men and women who make
up the organization.
Applying technology to law enforcement has been a primary goal of the Pigeon
Forge Police Department, second only to the application of the community
policing philosophy. The advent of
the Internet has given us an opportunity to combine technology with community
policing and allows us to be more effective in communicating with our citizens
and employees.
The success of the Pigeon Forge Police Department
cannot be credited to technology and special programs; our success is due to the
hard working and talented men and women that make up the Pigeon Forge Police
Department. From the uniformed
patrol officer to the criminal investigators; from juvenile program officers to
Tactical Rescue Unit members; from crime scene technicians and accident
reconstructionists to Communications Officers and all of our civilian support
personnel, they can take a piece of the credit for our success.
We demand a lot of our employees and I am proud of the quality of work
that is consistently delivered. As
in any organization, we encounter problems and controversy from time to time;
however, it is our goal to be responsive to those issues and become a better
department as a result.
The Pigeon Forge Police Department is primarily
charged with the preservation of the peace and order of the City of Pigeon
Forge, the enforcement of all criminal ordinances and laws of the City of Pigeon
Forge, the State of Tennessee, and the United States.
Specific division responsibilities include:
The prevention of crime.
The repression of crime.
The investigation of crime.
The apprehension of criminal offenders.
The recovery of stolen property.
The regulation of non-criminal conduct.
I hope you take time to browse
our site. If you find an area that
you may have questions about, or have suggestions on how we may better serve
you, our customers, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Jack
H. Baldwin
Chief of Police
