Warner Robins Police Department hosts Third Town Hall of 2026

WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (Ghost Studios) – It was a very informative session today at Ted Wright Park, located over on Moody Road, as the Warner Robins Police Department hosted its third Town Hall of the year.

A panel of officers led by Wayne Fisher, Chief of Police for Warner Robins Police Department, discussed a variety of topics ranging from a growing population to the statistics on the absurd amount of drugs they managed to confiscate off the streets.

Chief Fisher says due to the growing population perception of police presence seems small to residents, but that’s not the case as they are more spread out across the vast city to be able to respond to situations more quickly.

One of the major improvements the department has made was hiring more spanish speaking officers as they said crimes in the hispanic community were going under-reported due to the language barrier.

Traffic was also a big topic of discussion as residents have been frustrated with all the new businesses and construction in the area, also bringing driving safely to the forefront of the conversation.

Statistics on their drug operations were so detailed, I couldn’t keep track of the amount or believe my ears… I’m personally glad they managed to get all that off the streets.

Property crimes, such as theft and crimes of opportunity, seemed to be another point of concern as the department says it’s the number one crime in the area and the majority of the weapons taken off the streets were stolen from unlocked vehicles.

Also, according to the department, Warner Robins is number 73 out of 100 of the safest cities in Georgia and says even though they are part of the community, just like elected officials, it’s the people’s involvement that continue to keep a community safe.

Warner Robins Police Department also says they are currently looking to fill 20 open positions as they are short on people and they are paying over $25 an hour. Chief Fisher says even though they are short they will not compromise their standards as training one new officer could take upwards of a year and over $100,000.
