Long Beach Police Department

What Long Beach Police Department does

The Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) is the municipal law enforcement agency for the City of Long Beach, a roughly 33,000-resident barrier-island city in Nassau County, New York. Operating from its headquarters at 1 West Chester Street under the leadership of the Police Commissioner (with concurrent role of Acting City Manager in recent years, succeeded by Acting Commissioner Richard DePalma in July 2024), the department delivers the full spectrum of municipal policing: uniformed patrol, detective services, traffic enforcement, a Technical Assistance Response Unit (TARU), records/ID services, and 911 emergency response. It employs 179 sworn and civilian personnel and serves residents, local businesses, and seasonal visitors across the city's fixed geographic jurisdiction.

LBPD's service portfolio extends beyond traditional enforcement to a set of citizen-facing administrative services - accident reports, impound releases, parking citation payments, disability permit applications, FOIL requests, alarm registration, bicycle registration, and civilian fingerprinting ($20 per card) - some of which have been digitized through third-party integrations with PMAM (alarm permits) and LexisNexis Risk's buycrash.com portal (accident reports). The department's flagship digital initiative is the CueHit community feedback system, launched in 2021 as the first SMS-based citizen survey platform deployed by a Long Island police department; it contacts 911 callers and recent service users to collect feedback. The department also distributes and promotes the Nassau C.A.R.E.S. substance-abuse resource app and partners with the North Park Crisis Team, BACH Jewish Center, and a newly formed Long Beach Police Foundation on community events such as National Night Out and toy drives for hospitalized children.

As a government entity, LBPD has no commercial revenue model. It is funded by municipal tax revenue allocated through the City of Long Beach budget, with negligible ancillary fee income from unit-priced civilian services. Its go-to-market is non-existent in the commercial sense: service delivery is mandatory and geographically fixed, and community engagement is pursued through a Facebook presence (LBNYPD), press releases, public events, and direct partnerships with local nonprofits and crisis-intervention organizations. The department received a 2023 Distinguished Service Award from the Nassau County Municipal Police Chiefs Association for Sgt. Judy Arroyo's life-saving actions at a house fire.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Nassau County Police Department: The primary county-level law enforcement agency covering the same Nassau County in which Long Beach is located. Directly comparable as a regional police services provider, but at a broader jurisdictional scale with overlapping authority on major roadways and unincorporated areas.
• Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD): Large metropolitan municipal police department sharing the 'Long Beach' naming convention but operating as a national benchmark for community-policing innovation and digital engagement — useful as a strategic reference for capability trajectory.
• New York City Police Department (NYPD): The statewide benchmark municipal police department and source of lateral transfers into LBPD (e.g., Officer Squiciarino from the 107th Precinct). Operates overlapping functions (patrol, detective, community engagement) but at vastly larger scale.
• Suffolk County Police Department: County-level police force serving the neighboring Suffolk County on Long Island. Comparable as a New York suburban law enforcement agency operating community-policing programs in a beach-and-suburban demographic similar to Long Beach's.

Direct peers

• Freeport Police Department: Village police department in Nassau County serving a similar small-city coastal population, with overlapping community-policing, traffic, and parking-enforcement responsibilities directly comparable to LBPD's service mix.
• Glen Cove Police Department: A small Long Island city police department similar in scale to LBPD, providing patrol, detective, and community services within a Nassau County-adjacent jurisdiction — a directly comparable municipal police structure.
• Hempstead Village Police Department: A nearby Long Island village police department of comparable size and scope, serving a Nassau County municipality with a similar community-policing footprint and small-force operating model.

Others

• CueHit: The third-party vendor whose text-message survey platform LBPD integrated in 2021. Relevant as the underlying technology partner enabling LBPD's flagship community-feedback capability, rather than as a competing service provider.
