If you need a Police Officer...

The Frederick Police Department has moved from the Tillman County Law Enforcement Center to this location at 208 S. Main.
Police Chief Rick Guill said the new facility's hours of operation will be from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Secretary and Municipal Court Clerk Susan Hollandsworth will be on duty during those hours. The non-emergency telephone number is 335-5702.
After 4:30 p.m., if a citizen needs a police officer for a non-emergency they should call a dispatcher at 335-7503 and ask to speak to an officer. Guill said an officer will then meet that person at the new office.
The new location of the Police Department is temporary. When renovations to the old City Hall, which is just across the street, are complete, the Frederick Police Department will make that location their permanent headquarters.
Guill said officers will be in and out of the temporary facility around the clock.
He said that if a citizen needs to get in contact with the department they should not go to the Law Enforcement Center.
"We no longer have office facilities at the LEC," Guill said. County jobless rate drops in July
