Mike Burns
Chief of Police

Dear Citizens and Visitors,

It is with great pride that I provide you the City of Macon Police Department Web site. This Web site will allow you to better understand the inner workings of the Police Department and see some of the challenges faced as well as accomplishments achieved. This is one of the many methods that our Department utilizes to communicate with its citizens, visitors and others we diligently serve.

The Macon Police Department is committed to fairness, compassion and excellence; providing police services in accordance with the law, while being sensitive to the needs of the public we serve. We are truly committed to community partnerships through which we can address crime and public safety concerns.

Our policing philosophy balances traditional and innovative policing methods, supporting our view that community problems are most successfully addressed and alleviated by working in partnership with the community. The men and women of the Macon Police Department have fully embraced this concept. Our Department works with groups and organizations to develop programs that improve the community and increase awareness of our responsibilities.

In closing, allow me to leave with you some insight into what you can expect from your Police Chief. I will always be honest in all my dealings with you, the citizens I serve, and also with the men and women I serve with. I will diligently strive to continuously improve the professionalism within the Police Department. You will find that I am accessible, approachable, and willing to listen with a sincere desire to assist you with your concerns. I will insure that the Department's personnel, both sworn officers and civilians, will never lose sight that we are here to serve and protect the citizens by working together in our efforts to improve the quality of life in Macon.
