Records Section

The Records Section is the central repository for all reports generated by the New Port Richey Police Department. This section provides copies of reports and fingerprinting to the public. Requests can be made in person, by email, fax, or telephone.

In addition to assisting the public, Records personnel report crime data to Tallahassee through the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) for state and national crime statistical publication. This information is also available to the public.

Communications Section

Our 9-1-1 Communications Center handles incoming calls for Police and Fire Departments within city limits. This section has established call-handling procedures for emergency and non-emergency situations. The dispatchers are certified and specially trained to obtain pertinent information and dispatch the appropriate service (i.e. Police, Fire, or E.M.S.).

If an emergency occurs within our jurisdiction, it is important to know that incoming calls from cellular phones will first go to the Pasco County Dispatch Center and are then transferred to our communications center.
