The Newnan Police Department handles cases involving juvenile offenders. The Department assists representatives of the Coweta County Juvenile Court, the Department of Family and Children Services, the Coweta County School System, and other law enforcement agencies to investigate juvenile related crimes.

When dealing with juveniles, personnel of the Newnan Police Department take the least coercive action reasonably necessary to preserve public safety, order, and individual liberty.

If a juvenile has charges filed against them, certain procedures must be followed. The flowchart provided below is an outline of how a case may progress in the juvenile justice court system.
