BPD Police Vehicle
Each month, the Belvedere Police Department prepares a Monthly Report of Crime Statistics. The Report chronicles Felonies, Misdemeanors, Citations, Accidents, Medical Aid, Noise Complaints, Party Complaints, Alarms, Open Doors, Warrants Served, Subpoenas, Personnel on Duty, Other Agency Assists, House Checks, Business Checks, and even the mundane of Patrol Car Mileage. The reports provide a gauge of criminal activity in the community. Granted, Belvedere is likely one of the safest communities in the county, but there is still crime.

The Belvedere Police Officers cover the community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With the addition of the most recent officer, the Police Department is able to cover most shifts with multiple officers such that rarely is an officer on duty in the City alone. The City’s website has a link to the Annual Statistics as part of the City’s CitySTATS publication available through this link.
