Do You Know Your Police Beat? (MAP)

A recent surge in burglaries has many Davis residents concerned. I’ve and Lt. Paul Doroshov said that dispatch has received many calls about suspicious solicitors.

Considering the rise in concern among community members, it’s valuable for you to know your police beat. You can find your beat in the map above, or by typing your address on the police department website. Here’s a message from the department:

In order to enhance community / police interaction, patrol officers are assigned designated areas of responsibility called a beat (commonly referred to as a "beat"). The patrol officer is responsible for responding to calls for service and collaborating with community members to find solution to problems that arise in the officer's beat.

As important as it is for an officer to take responsibility for their beat, it is equally important for the citizens who reside in the beat. The residents in the beat are encouraged to actively participate in maintaining the safety of their neighborhoods by learning signs of criminal activity, getting to know their neighbors, calling the police department when they observe criminal activity, and exploring preventive measures to reduce the chance of victimization.
