Who answers where. Roanoke is an independent city. In Virginia, independent cities are not part of any county, so the Roanoke Police Department answers for every address inside the city. Just outside the city limits, the police or sheriff of the neighbouring county responds instead.

Area served. Roanoke covers 43 square miles of land and has about 97,171 residents, roughly 2,285 people per square mile, all of them inside the area this department covers (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023 population estimate and land area).
