Canton Police Launch Roving Roll Calls In Community

CANTON, GA — As part of its continued efforts to strengthen its relationship with the community, the Canton Police Department will launch what's known as Roving Roll Calls.

Each of the agency's Uniform Patrol shifts holds roll call before they embark on their duties for the day (or night). Officers are briefed on current issues or crime trends impacting their patrol areas.

Throughout the summer, Canton police will hold roll calls at various locations in the city two or three times a month. The first roll call will be held a 5:15 p.m. Wednesday, July 18 at Walmart at 1550 Riverstone Parkway.

Each roll call session usually last 10 to 15 minutes. Canton police will post the locations and dates of these Roving Roll Calls on its social media pages with the hopes that our community will be interested in attending.

Citizens are encouraged to come watch the Roll Calls, ask any questions they may have and engage in conversations with our officers which gives the police and community a chance to interact.
