Thanks for your service to the citizens of Roswell. Enjoy your retirement.

Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

Be safe this holiday season.

Good afternoon, Roswell! As of this morning, it appears all traffic signals are working, and all roads are passable! City crews have been checking roads all day... and will stay on-call to respond to any situations that arise. If you are aware of signals out or roads still blocked, please call the Police non-emergency line at 770-640-4160. (In an emergency situation, please call 911.) Please continue to drive with awareness and patience. Although signals are working, Zeta’s strong winds may have turned some detection equipment, and there’s the possibility of that causing longer wait times at some intersections. We are trying to address these issues as they filter in, and we will correct them as soon as possible. Also please be aware that crews will be continuing to pick up debris on sidewalks and on the sides of roads over the next several weeks. This process will take some time. Your continued patience is greatly appreciated!

From our brothers at the City of Laurinburg, NC FD. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Roswell!

Great information for post-storm precautions.

Good news this morning: All lights are functioning in Roswell! Great thanks to the crews that have been working tirelessly over the past several days to get the...m up and running again! We still have a couple of road closures: * Mimosa Blvd near Oxbo. There is still a tree down near Roswell First Baptist Church, 710 Mimosa Blvd. * Hightower Rd between Northpoint and Ashurst is still closed. With regard to trees that are on sidewalks, off to the side of the road, etc., Public Works crews are working very hard to get all of that removed. As of yesterday (10/31) they still had more than 80 trees to remove, so it is going to take some time. Thank you for your patience!

Have a fun and safe halloween Roswell.
