REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FORMS
In addition to the statistics found in the Annual and Monthly reports, the Crime Analysis Unit and Police Department Records Section provide customized reports/information or Crime Maps on request. There is normally a charge for the service, including labor beyond the first 15 minutes and supplies. Anyone desiring to request customized work is asked to download the form and mail or fax the form to the Support Services Division at: Albany Police Department, Attn: Support Services, 201 W. Oglethorpe Blvd., Albany, Georgia 31701. Fax number is 229-431-3299. Please do not email requests, as the Albany Police Department cannot guarantee receipt of the requests via email.
Requests are reviewed and approved by the Support Services Commander, which normally takes 1-2 days. If there will be a charge for the requested services, someone from the Police Department will make contact with the requesting party and discuss the fee. Normal turn-around time for the requests can average 5-7 working days, depending on such factors as the number of requests for information that are pending and the amount of work it will take to complete the request. Projects requiring an inordinate amount of time require approval of the Chief of Police.
NOTE: Requests for information of this nature are not seen as requests for information under the Georgia Open Records Act.
