Police Frequently Asked Questions

I had a motor vehicle accident, when and where I can get a copy of the report?

There are a few factors that must be considered before requesting a crash or accident report from Lexington PD. Most importantly, was the crash investigated by the Lexington Police Department or another agency within Henderson County TN. 
If the crash was investigated by the Lexington Police Department, CLICK HERE.

I was stopped by an officer and received a citation, do I have to show up for court?

Depends on the citation. All citations written for “Financial Responsibility” (no proof of insurance) must report to court at the appropriate time. All others may be paid at the City Hall within two weeks of the court date.

My spouse and I are having trouble with our car seat. Do you have an officer that can assist?

Yes. Please come by our agency at 88 First Street and we will have one of our certified child safety seat officers place your seat in the car

My spouse and I are leaving for vacation. Do you have a “house watch” available while we are gone?

Absolutely. Contact our agency and we will place your residence on the “house watch” list for patrol until you get home.

When can my child quit riding in a booster seat?

Children age four (4) through age eight (8), and measuring less than four feet nine inches (4'9") in height, must be secured in a belt-positioning booster seat system, meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards in the rear seat, if available, or according to the child safety restraint system or vehicle manufacturer's instructions. (Note: If the child is not between age four (4) and age eight (8), but is less than four feet nine inches (4'9") in height, he/she must still use a seat belt system meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards.) Please visit the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security for more information.

Can I bring my pet to the City Park?

No. Animals/pets are not allowed at any city park. View The City of Lexington's Municipal Code for explanations. (20-501, page 352 or 20-9)

I have medication that I’m not taking anymore, where can I take it?

I’m glad you asked. We have a drop box in the lobby of our agency located at 88 First Street. Simply bring any of your old or unwanted prescription drugs and place in the box. Items accepted include: Prescriptions, over the counter medications, pet medications, medicated ointment, lotions or drops, liquid medications (in leak-proof containers), inhalers and/or pills in any packaging (glass bottles, plastic containers, plastic bags, etc.) Items not accepted include: Illegal drugs & narcotics (although police will accept these items if placed in the containers), sharps/needles, blood sugar equipment, thermometers, IV bags, bloody or infectious waste, personal care products (shampoo, lotions, etc). Visit the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation for additional details.

My vehicle was impounded, what do I do?

When a vehicle is impounded it can be very stressful. The arresting officer provides a copy of the seizure form to the person in control of the vehicle. Please read this form carefully and comply to its instructions. Once the vehicle is seized, it will be stored at our impound lot located at our agency at 88 First Street. You or a designee are allowed to come and retrieve items from the vehicle from the hours of 6am-2pm Monday through Friday. If you have any questions, please contact Lieutenant Jason Holmes at (731) 968-6666 or visit the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security for more information.
