Lakewood Phone Directory

The Lakewood phone directory is the quick way to reach city hall, the Lakewood Police Department, and the public disclosure unit. Use the Lakewood phone directory when you need to call a city clerk, the police records desk, or a permit clerk. Most phone contacts sit on the official city site. A short search helps you reach the right person on the first try. The clerk keeps the Lakewood phone directory up to date, so numbers stay fresh. Call with your case or file info ready to save time.

Lakewood Public Records Phone Directory

The City of Lakewood is committed to providing full access to public records under RCW 42.56. Requests can be made online through NextRequest or in person. The two walk-in spots are the City Hall Lobby at 6000 Main St. SW and the Lakewood Police Station at 9401 Lakewood Dr. SW. You can see the full page for the intake form at the link below.

For the public disclosure request page, see the Lakewood Public Disclosure Requests page.

The page lists the staff contact, the portal link, and the walk-in options. Call before you file a request if you have questions. Lakewood Police incident reports should be requested from South Sound 911, not from the city clerk.

The Public Records Act sits in RCW Chapter 42.56. It tells the clerk how to respond, what to charge, and when a request can be denied.

Lakewood Police Phone Directory

The Lakewood Police Department formed in 2004 and has reduced local crime by more than 30% since then. The department is at 9401 Lakewood Drive SW, Lakewood, WA 98499. The administrative phone is (253) 830-5000. The non-emergency dispatch line is (253) 287-4455. Dial 9-1-1 for any emergency.

The Lakewood phone directory for the police lists the chief, the records unit, the detectives, and the front desk. Call the records clerk first if you need a copy of a police report. Staff can tell you if the report is ready and what the fee will be.

See the Lakewood Police home page for the full phone list and hours.

The page lists the admin phone, the non-emergency dispatch, and the records unit. Note that incident reports flow through South Sound 911 for processing.

Note: Call the records unit before you drive down. Some reports take time to clear.

How to Use the Lakewood Phone Directory

Start on the city home page. Click on the department you want. Each page lists a phone, an email, and an address. The clerk keeps the list up to date.

Common calls from the Lakewood phone directory include these:

• City Clerk and public records

• Police non-emergency: (253) 287-4455

Each of these lines has its own phone number in the Lakewood phone directory. State law under RCW 42.56.520 tells staff to respond within five business days.

Lakewood Police Incident Reports and South Sound 911

One key detail in the Lakewood phone directory is that police incident reports do not come from City Hall. They go through South Sound 911. That is a separate agency that handles dispatch for Lakewood and other Pierce County cities. If you need a copy of a police report or a traffic collision file, start with South Sound 911 instead of the city clerk. The Lakewood Police phone at (253) 830-5000 can confirm this and give you a direct contact at the dispatch center.

Lakewood also runs its own NextRequest portal for non-police city records. That portal covers finance files, permit records, public works data, and other city business. You can submit a request online, track it, and get email updates when staff post files. Walk in requests go to City Hall at 6000 Main St. SW or the Police Station at 9401 Lakewood Dr. SW. Staff will acknowledge your request within five business days. After that, they send a timeline for the first batch of records.

State Resources for Lakewood Phone Directory

Some phones are not at the city level. Vital records go through the state Department of Health. The DOH Vital Records page has the phone directory for that office. For corporate lookups, the Secretary of State keeps an online search at ccfs.sos.wa.gov.
