Beverly Police Department

What Beverly Police Department does

The Beverly Police Department is a municipal law enforcement agency serving the City of Beverly, Massachusetts, operating under the City of Beverly as its parent government entity. The agency runs 24/7 law enforcement coverage structured across three patrol divisions (Division I nights, Division II days, Division III evenings) and includes specialized units — Criminal Investigation, Traffic, Community Impact, Crime Analysis, Domestic Violence (established 2002), Crisis Intervention Team/Training and Technical Assistance Center, School Resource Officer program, and Animal Control. It serves City of Beverly residents through approximately 60 officers and civilian staff, addressing emergency response, crime prevention and investigation, traffic safety, domestic violence support, mental health crisis intervention, school safety, animal control, and community outreach. Service distribution is multi-channel: 911 emergency dispatch, non-emergency phone lines, in-person headquarters at 175 Elliott St., online self-service forms, the MyPD mobile application, and the Swift911/Smart911 emergency notification system.

The technology stack combines vendor-provided and proprietary integrations: Smart911/Swift911 for emergency notifications shared with Public Services and the School Department; Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) via Flock Safety in the Traffic Unit with a public transparency portal; a Crime Analysis Unit performing tactical, strategic, and administrative crime analysis on reports and calls for service; and online forms for anonymous tips, records requests, event permits, commendations, and complaints. Partnerships span federal agencies (FBI, DEA), the Essex County District Attorney's Office, Massachusetts State Police, the Sheriff's Department, the Beverly Fire Department, Northeast Essex County CIT-TTAC, HAWC domestic violence hotline, Salem High Risk Team, the Community Advisory Council, and several professional associations (IACP, PERF, Massachusetts Major City Chiefs, Massachusetts Chiefs of Police, FBI LEEDA).

The business model is non-commercial: the agency is funded through City of Beverly municipal tax revenues and budget allocations, with services provided at no direct charge to residents. The only external funding instrument disclosed is a $100,000 Cummings Foundation grant (June 2026) restricted to the Officer Health and Wellness Program. Revenue figures and operating budgets are not publicly reported by the department.
