 A Message from Chief Getchell
Welcome to ppd.net, the official web site of the Palatka Police Department. This is an exciting time for the Palatka Police Department. Our goals continue to be to reduce the fear of crime, prevent and prepare for disasters and partner with City Officials and the community to implement ordinances to make Palatka a safer city. One of the many tools we use to provide information and help educate our community members is our website. I encourage you to explore our site and learn more about the agency Citizens Police Academy - 11 week program beginning August 5, 2008 6:30 P.M. - 9:30 P.M. Citizens On Patrol is a generic name used to describe Law Enforcement Volunteers. All citizens participating are screened, and trained by local law enforcement. They can then patrol the community acting as "Eyes and Ears" for Law Enforcement. They assist the Law Enforcement agencies with administrative work, can assist with calls for service, allowing the officers to spend more time on patrol and focus on their primary mission. ..read more
