Our Commitment to Accuracy
The Perry Department of Public Safety is committed to publishing accurate, timely, and verified information across all areas of public communication. Whether it’s crime updates, fire safety notices, or community alerts, we follow a rigorous fact-checking process to ensure everything we share is reliable and trustworthy.
Verification Standards
All content is verified internally by qualified staff before publication. We use only credible and authoritative sources to confirm the accuracy of our information. These include:
- Official police and fire department records
- Georgia state and local laws
- Government safety databases (e.g., FBI, FEMA)
- Publicly accessible documents and statistics
- Direct statements from verified department officials
We do not publish rumors, unverified claims, or anonymous tips without formal investigation and internal review.
Internal Review Process
Our fact-checking team includes trained personnel across multiple units:
- Public Information Officers
- Department leadership
- Supervising officers and investigators
- Administrative staff familiar with departmental procedures
All statements, statistics, and safety-related information undergo a two-step review before approval.
Source Transparency
Whenever possible, we cite the sources of our information within our content. This includes:
- Links to public reports or city data
- References to laws or ordinances
- Clear attribution of quotes or statistics
We believe in openness and accountability. We do not use anonymous or unverifiable sources.

- Public information and media officers
- Senior staff within the police and fire departments
- Legal consultants (when needed)
This team ensures every claim, update, or alert is consistent with our standards of accuracy.
Timeliness and Relevance
We make every effort to ensure content is not only accurate but also current. Information is reviewed periodically and updated when:
- Procedures or laws change
- New data becomes available
- A topic requires clarification based on community feedback
Time-sensitive updates such as crime alerts, weather-related emergencies, or community safety warnings are published only after internal verification.
