Greensboro Police To Operate Public Facilities On Limited Schedule Due To Coronavirus

Press Release From the City of Greensboro:

Post Date 03/15/2020

In light of the precautions that have already taken place in our community, the Greensboro Police Department will operate our public facilities on the same schedule as other city offices. Hours for Police Substations and Police Headquarters will be limited to 10 am to 3 pm. This change in hours will be effective March 16 through March 20. We will evaluate the situation at that time to address changes going forward.

Although this will not eliminate contact with the general public for our non-sworn employees, it will limit overall contact and will reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19. Any standing appointments that have been made by a resident with an employee of the Police Department will be honored.

Outside of the limited hours of 10 am to 3 pm our Watch Operations Center will operate in the same fashion as normal after hours operation, and will be available 24 hours a day. Other non-critical services will be conducted during the 10 am to 3 pm time period.

Although we will operate on a modified schedule regarding walk-ins to our public facilities, this will not affect our ability to answer emergency and non-emergency calls and residents can expect the same high level of service from the Greensboro Police Department.
