The Goldsboro Police Department is still ready to serve and protect in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

Appearing on Jeff Farrow’s Morning Show on Goldsboro’s Greatest Hits 1150 and 98.3, Goldsboro Police Chief Mike West said the main noticeable operational change is in the actual police department building.

The lobby of the Public Safety Complex remains closed to visitors at this time.

West also talked about how officers will be interacting with members of the public that are out and about during the statewide “Stay-At-Home” order.

In some cases, officers will take incident reports over the phone if possible.

Chief West says so far, it seems Goldsboro citizens are complying with the “Stay-At-Home” order.

Chief West encourages residents to stay at home as much as possible, and he reminds “we’re all in this together.”
