Lake View Police Department

Based at the city's municipal building near Tannehill Parkway, the Lake View Police Department in Alabama serves a city whose neighborhoods include the Tannehill Preserve and part of the original Million Dollar Lakes area. The department's office doors open between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. from Monday through Thursday, and a police clerk and a court clerk handle front-office business, with questions about tickets or paying fines going to the court clerk. Tuscaloosa County dispatchers handle calls for the department, while emergencies still go to 911. Residents can find information on Alabama's graduated driver's license rules, a drop box for expired or unused prescription and over-the-counter medicine, and a volunteer program for people willing to foster animals. The department also points residents to Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama for anonymous tips, to storm shelter locations in both Jefferson and Tuscaloosa counties and to Department of Human Resources offices in each county. The city's open records policy, posted with its public records, explains how residents can request documents. Fire protection comes from the Lake View Fire District, a separate Class 5 district formed more than 40 years ago by area residents.
