How do you find the phone number for a local police department?

Most city websites, including those for New York City and Los Angeles, provide phone numbers for state or city police departments. USACops.com, a online directory of law enforcement agencies, also provides the addresses and contact information for police departments and other law enforcement agencies in the United States.

City websites such as NYC.gov provide an online directory for all the police departments in the city of New York. The information is available from the NYPD section of the site. The website for the Los Angeles Police Department also provides a community police station address directory that lists the telephone numbers of all the precincts in the city.

USACops.com offers a searchable database in the form of an interactive map and a list of states and counties. The site states that it has no affiliation with any specific agency.
