Tybee is a small beach community nestled on a barrier island approximately 18 miles east of historic Savannah, Georgia. While the island has just over 3,000 full time residents, it’s reputation as a popular vacation destination attracts thousands of visitors from across the world every year.
At the heart of it all is the Tybee Island Police Department. With over 30 full-time team members, our agency is able to provide professional law enforcement services to residents and guests 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to our patrol function, TIPD also boasts Criminal Investigations and Administrative Divisions, as well as it’s own 911 center and temporary holding facility.
Even when they’re not busy enforcing the law, the men and women of the Tybee Island Police Department play an active role in our community. From working alongside the Humane Society for Greater Savannah, to raising money for the families of critically ill children, our team makes it clear that the police and the public are better together. We’re proud to say that since 2018, two of our outreach programs have received recognition for excellence by the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police.
