Hallandale Beach Police Department

BEAT the Fear

2012—Annual decrease in UCR crimes by over 10%.

Most recent available survey (August, 2011) shows “Overall Quality of Police Services” as one of the areas of greatest satisfaction by our citizens.

Despite an unprecedented spike in homicides between late 2012 and early 2013, only one event remains without a suspect identified and in custody.

Recent Accomplishments

BEAT the Fear—The men and women of the Hallandale Beach Police Department will embark on a multi-faceted campaign to Build Effectiveness And Trust within our community and BEAT the fear and anxiety that has unfortunately come to overshadow the accomplishments of our hardworking men and women over the last year. This campaign involves several individual initiatives, including the following…

New Initiatives

Hallandale Beach, although compact, is a diverse city. As such, the strategies for one area of the City may not be the best in another area.

Traditionally to expose officers to this diversity, they are temporarily assigned to zones only for weeks or months.

Although practical for introducing officers to diversity, it does not connect individual officers to the residents and business owners in a particular zone of the city.

Initiative 1—Static Zone Assignments

Officers will be assigned to permanent zones for longer durations

This will be published on the police page of the city website

Initiative 2—Double Back Program

Our officers respond every day to calls from crime victims or residents/business owners who need assistance. From every shift, each officer will be required to identify an individual with whom they came into contact and visit the individual on their next patrol shift to follow up with the individual, offer any additional services, answer further questions, and most importantly reinforce our commitment to our citizens and business people.

Initiative 2—Double Back Program

We will equip additional patrol vehicles with bike racks to enhance the number of officers who will use them to enhance their ability to stealthily patrol their zones and increase their approachability to residents. Our zones are small enough that officers will be able to deploy the bicycle and quickly return it to the vehicle to respond to emergency calls.

Initiative 3—Enhanced Bicycle Patrol

Statistics indicate we have been able to identify crime trends and hot spots and deploying resources to reduce crime overall. As part of the BEAT the Fear campaign, we will use these hot spot principles to deploy our officers to spend time each shift out of their vehicles, interacting with residents at designated zones, such as City parks and retail locations.
