In 2016, the Tybee Island Police Department boldly went where no law enforcement agency had gone before, charting a new course for the way we handle emergency child care.

Dubbed Operation Starlight, our award-winning program relies on heavily vetted community volunteers to provide compassionate care for children who are lost, abused, or whose guardians have been arrested. In addition, donations of coloring books, toys, and stuffies help ensure a comfortable experience within the safe confines of our police department.
