The Public Information Office is responsible for providing vital information in a timely manner to both
the citizens of Norfolk as well as print, television, radio, and internet media representatives. In fulfilling the office’s
mission, staff members are involved in the statewide AMBER Alert program, the Hampton Roads Regional Media Council, and the
Hampton Roads Regional Crime Line Association.
The Norfolk Crime Line remains a powerful and effective tool providing investigators valuable information
on a variety of cases. The Public Information Officer continues as the Norfolk Police Department’s Crime Line Coordinator and
is responsible for collecting information from active cases and relaying that information to the general public through local
media outlets.
