A Stronger Community Through Partnership

The Beverly Police Departments community policing partnership includes individual citizens, neighborhood groups, government agencies, private businesses, and the police. The combined efforts of all of these participants identify problems, utilizing citizen surveys, crime analysis, formal program evaluations and neighborhood meetings.

This close community policing interaction enables both our officers and the city’s residents to work together in achieving mutual goals, such as problem solving, crime prevention, target hardening, and developing a combined mutual neighborhood understanding.
