To report a theft, call 911. Most thefts are opportunistic in nature, so make it more difficult for the theft to take place. For example, never leave valuable objects (laptop, I-pod, cell phone, purse, etc.) in open view inside your parked car.

Make sure you write down all your serial numbers and identification markings. Place the list in a safe place or two - maybe a list at home, and email yourself at work. If you are ever a victim, you can give the serial numbers and identification markings to the police to enter in the National Automated Property System. If anyone is caught with the property it can be identified as stolen and the culprit can be arrested. With the public's help we can reduce thefts, recover more stolen property and arrest more thieves.

1) If you see a loose dog or other animal, contact the owner if you know who they are. If you don't know who owns the animal, contact Clayton County Animal Control at (770) 477.3509.

2) Keep children inside. Wait for Animal Services to catch the animal before going outside.

3) Do not pick up or touch injured animals. A bite from an animal may necessitate medical treatment for the injury and shots for rabies. This is especially true if the animal runs away before it can be caught and tested.

4) If you know the animal and it is familiar with you, try to contain it to a fenced yard. Avoid pulling on it. If you injure it, it may bite you.

5) If you encounter a large animal such as a cow or horse, try not to spook it. Warn traffic of the loose animal if possible and contact Clayton County Animal Control at (770) 477.3509.

All information about people in jail can be obtained from calling jail information at 770-477-4413 or go to their website www.claytonsheriff.com. The jail is operated by the Clayton County Sheriff's Office.

If you are involved in a minor collision where there are no visible signs of injury to persons involved and the vehicles are drivable then move your vehicle out of the traveled portion of the roadway. Cars left in the road contribute to traffic back-ups, which can cause other collisions. In fact, State law requires that motorists move their cars from freeways. Call the police at 911 and exchange driver information.

To obtain information through open records citizens must submit an open records request to the Morrow City Clerk. Requests must be made in writing. Citizens may either send their request by email to City Clerk Viet Tran at viettran@cityofmorrow.com or by fax to 770-960-3002. Requests may also be mailed to Morrow City Hall at 1500 Morrow Road, Morrow, GA 30260.

The case must be submitted through a computerized system that checks for errors and routes the report to the Criminal Investigations Division. Once the case arrives in CID, a supervisor must assign the case to a detective. Once the case is assigned, it is prioritized by the detective using solvability factors. If there is an error in the way the report was written or filed a delay is possible. If the detective is working major felony case it is possible that cases that are not violent are moved down in que causing a delay.

If your property was found, and if the Detective has a way to contact you he or she will contact you and talk to you about returning the property.

If you have not been contacted by a detective, call 770-961-4006 with your case number to update the case and property information over the phone (this includes adding serial numbers and other case information.) The detective will then add that information to the report and the national data base of stolen property.

If you see flashing lights behind you, you should pull to the right and slow down. When an officer is trying to stop you, you should pull off of the roadway when it is safe and come to a stop. If you are stopped at night, turn your interior dome light on. Limit your movements inside your vehicle until the officer approaches and requests your license and insurance information. Traffic stops are inherently unpredictable in the eyes of an officer and reaching into your glove box or purse as the officer approaches only adds to an already tense situation.

When you see the lights flashing, slow down and pull to the right and turn your hazard lights on. This will act as an acknowledgement to the officer. If you have a cell phone, call 911 and tell the operator that you want to verify that an officer is trying to stop you. Listen to the operator's instructions as to what to do next. If you do not have a cell phone, stop in a well lit/well populated area, lock your door, roll your window down an inch and request the officer provide his/her department issued identification card. All Morrow Police Officers have a department issued id card.

If you believe that a real officer is trying to stop you but you do not want to stop in a dark area, again slow down, pull to the right and activate your hazards. You can continue to drive until you reach the next well lit area.

The important thing in both of these situations is to acknowledge the officer trying to stop you.

Acknowledge the officer as described above. Call 911 to verify the officer's identity or stop in a well lit/well populated area and verify the officer's id as described above.

We are located at 6311-Murphy Drive Morrow, GA 30260. The main office number is (770) 961-4006.

In the event of an emergency, call 911. We are dispatched through the Clayton County 911 Communication center on all calls. If you need to contact the Morrow PD for non-emergency matters, please call (770) 961-4006, Monday thru Friday from 9:00am until 5:00pm. (Holidays excepted)
