How Did It Get Stolen?
The Canton Police Department (CPD) is well aware most incidents of property damage, theft from sheds/garages, theft from vehicles, bicycles thefts and other property crime happen overnight under the cover of darkness.
In many cases, vehicles, sheds, and garages are left unlocked by the owners. Suspects try doors until they find one unlocked and then look through the vehicle, shed or garage to take any valuables they locate as a quick crime of opportunity.
On Wednesday, December 5, 2018, the CPD will begin the “It’s 9 O’clock - LOCK IT UP” campaign. At 9 pm each night, a message will go out on the Police Department’s Instagram and Facebook accounts reminding all our followers that “It’s 9 O’clock – LOCK IT UP”. When you get the message, it is a perfect time to ensure your shed and garage doors are locked and to click that automatic door lock on your vehicles. Check to make sure your bikes are locked in the garage, shed, or are padlocked to an immovable object. Also, look around your yard and see if there is anything there that a thief may want.
If you LOCK IT UP there is a much better chance it will not be stolen.
We strongly believe this initiative is another excellent avenue to continue to improve our communication, partnership and trust with those we serve. As always, thank you for your support as we all work together to continue to improve the Quality of Life in our great city.

Canton Police Hosting "Shop with a Cop"
The Canton Police Department would like to announce it will be hosting its annual “Shop with a Cop” on Thursday, December 13, 2018, at 5:45 pm. and is currently accepting applications and referrals from local schools. This annual event will take place at the Target store, located at 2022 Cumming Hwy, Canton, GA.
Canton Officers and Police Explorers will be giving gifts to children who would not ordinarily be receiving much if anything this year. Officers will be helping approximately 20 families in need this Christmas season. The Police Department has received donations from local business and organizations to help support this cause and Officers were able to participate in "No Shave and Paint your Nails November and December" which raised approximately $1,200.00 for this vital program.
The Canton Police Department strongly believes in a “Mindset of community, Attitude of Service and Heart of Protection. Officers know their purpose is to make a difference in the lives of our children and families in our city and the surrounding communities. The goal of Shop with a Cop is to not only financially help families but to build trust and a positive relationship to let them know they have someone to turn to when faced with a potential crisis.
