Neighborhood-Based Policing

The officers in Beat 8160 take pride in their work and are always interested in providing quality service to our residents. The Neighborhood Based Policing philosophy allows the 8160 Beat officers to work in partnership with the community and to stay connected with your needs and concerns. This is accomplished by regular patrol responsibilities but also by meeting with residents in Neighborhood Watch Groups, attending block parties and by maintaining a close relationship with school officials and their resources.
