West Columbia Police Department

Please be aware of a scam that some of our citizens are reporting.

There are scammers who have been calling local residents impersonating Police Officers and claiming to be with WCPD. If you receive a suspicious phone call asking you to give any type of money or information please do not give out ANY information. We will never ask a citizen to go to the bank to withdraw cash to meet for exchange, or pay us over the phone with giftcards, this is just NOT something Police Departments do.

Stay cautious and when in doubt hang up and call 979-345-5121 for non emergencies and 911 for emergencies

Just a quick reminder!
Emergency Siren test schedule

The first Saturday of every month at noon we test the fire notification tone. The second Saturday of every month at noon will be severe weather tone. The third Saturday of every month at noon will be all clear tone.

The most common siren is the fire notification tone. WCVFD service area is more than just the city of West Columbia. They also service the surrounding area into County jurisdiction as well as assisting the other fire departments WCPD dispatch’s for. This is the reason that tone is the most common you will hear.

Hope this information clears up any confusion regarding emergency sirens.

We have been diligently working an incident that occurred Saturday May 16th, 2026 around 10:38pm in the area of N. 17th and Hamilton. This is still an active investigation. If you have any information please call the PD at 979-345-5121.

Thank you to all the law enforcement that show up day in and day out to make this world a better place. We truly have the best community that makes this job well worth it ❤️

This week we honor our amazing telecommunications team. We have the best!

Don’t forget!
