Each city department in Lakewood has its own phone line. These direct numbers let you skip the main menu and get straight to the office you need. The list below covers the most used contacts in the Lakewood phone directory. Some departments also have dedicated email addresses on the city website.

Lakewood Police Phone Numbers

Lakewood police keep their own records separate from the Jefferson County Sheriff. If an incident happened inside the Lakewood city limits, the Lakewood Police Department has the report. If it happened in an unincorporated part of Jefferson County, the sheriff has it. This is a common source of confusion.
