Elizabethton Housing & Development Agency
To report an anonymous tip on any criminal activity, call the tips hot-line at

In participating with the Elizabethton Police Department, a police sub-station has
been developed within the public housing community.

Two officers are assigned to the sub-station.  The officers conduct community
checks and patrols.  They participate with EHDA resident visits, meetings and
projects.

Activities to name a few include Bicycle Safety, K-9 Demonstrations, Drug
Awareness Prevention, Self-Defense classes and Neighborhood Watch Programs.

Funding for the program is obtained by the EHDA.

The goal of the substation is to bring police and citizens together to prevent crime
and solve neighborhood problems.  This is being achieved through Community
Policing.  The philosophy of Community Policing places an emphasis on preventing
crime before it happens.  Community policing gives citizens more control over the
quality of life in their community.

By working together, police and residents will achieve a common goal of a safer
neighborhood
911 should be called for
ALL emergencies.  If
available, the substation
officers will respond to
these calls.

The phone number is
423-543-6603.
