Message from the Chief:
As your Police Chief, I keep an “open door” policy with the community. I encourage members to contact me by telephone, email, or to meet in person to discuss issues they are experiencing. For non-emergency situations, I can be reached at 304-623-2919 ext. 11005 or by email at jthomas@cityofstonewoodwv.gov.
If you have an emergency or need emergency assistance, I encourage you to contact 911, as this will be the fastest way to have an officer dispatched to assist you. For non-emergency situations, you can contact the Harrison County 911 center non-emergency number at 304-626-4900 or the Stonewood Police Department at 304-623-2919.
*The phones at the Stonewood Police Department are not staffed and monitored 24 hours a day.
If you see a problem in your neighborhood or suspicious activity, I encourage you to report it.
Chief Josh Thomas
