Stay Safe

• The Chattanooga Police Department operates a police precinct located on Walnut Street in Downtown Chattanooga. (Closed)
• The Chattanooga Police Department's Traffic Division uses patrol cars without emergency lights on their roof. Instead they have numerous blue lights mounted in the front grill and rear window. In September 2006 the police department announced increased speed limit enforcement due to numerous recent speed-related fatal accidents.
• The City of Red Bank, which is very close to the North Shore neighborhood, employs photo enforced traffic lights. A rolling right turn on red will very likely result in a citation.
• Avoid travelling at night except near the Waterfront areas, as much of Chattanooga is still in poor shape economically and thus prone to crime.
