Beaumont Police/Community Relations
The Police/Community Relations Unit serves as the center
for media and public communications, volunteer and
community participation programs, neighborhood
association liaison, and coordination of the Crime
Stoppers Program. All requests for public programs at
schools, businesses, civic organizations, etc. should be
directed to this office.
Media/Public
Communication
This unit disseminates
press releases and other department information, and
conducts interviews with the news media. Additionally,
they act as the Public Information Office for the City
of Beaumont during disasters and other emergencies.
Volunteer/Community Programs
The department is involved in a number of volunteer
and community programs on a daily basis. Those programs
include Citizens in Action, Citizens Police Academy,
Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, Police
Substation Volunteers, and the Clergy and Police
Partnership.
Citizens in Action is a program
designed to allow volunteers to write handicap parking
citations, patrol city parks, identify illegally stored
vehicles, and conduct traffic radar surveys.
Participants wear unique uniforms and drive distinctly
marked vehicles. Attendance in the Citizens Police
Academy is a pre-requisite to becoming a Citizens in
Action volunteer.
The Citizens Police Academy is a 13
week program which meets on Thursday nights, and is
designed to familiarize citizens with how and why the
police operate in the manner that they do. A number of
hands-on activities, including pursuit driving, firearms
range, and defensive tactics are included, and the
course is free to the public.
The Citizens Police
Academy Alumni Association is a public service,
non-profit group that supports area law enforcement.
They are involved in many public service activities, and
meet monthly to further their training and knowledge
about policing.
A group of citizen volunteers staff
the Parkdale Mall Police Substation each weekday during
business hours. They are responsible for disseminating
information to and interacting with the public on behalf
of the police department. They also meet regularly to
further their training.
The Clergy and Police
Partnership is comprised of a group from the local
clergy who receive specialized training. Their primary
mission is to minister to police employees in need and
to respond to emergency and/or crisis situations to
assist officers.
Neighborhood
Association Liaison
Fourteen
neighborhood associations currently meet on a monthly
basis throughout the city. At the monthly meetings,
officers receive information from citizens, and also
conduct presentations on current crime issues for that
specific area.
Beaumont Crime Stoppers
Information from active criminal investigations is
gathered and is disseminated to the public through local
media outlets. Information on these investigations is
then collected through telephone and text messaging and
is utilized by department investigators to assist in
solving crimes.
If you would like to request a
public program or if you would like to be a participant
in any of our programs, please call 880-3825 or
880-3802.
