Long Beach Police Dept

Long Beach Police-West Patrol opened in late 1997. The substation has achieved a significant decrease in murder rates in west Long Beach, Calif., since being established. Its presence in the area has improved community access to police and encouraged citizens to reclaim ownership of their neighborhoods. In 1998, an additional neighborhood improvement strategy area was created based on population demographics, crime and socio-economic characteristics. Neighborhood improvement strategy areas can receive specialized funding and the department assigns officers to collaborate with residents, schools, nonprofit groups and key city departments to solve area problems.

The Long Beach Fire Department, established in 1897, is dedicated to protecting lives, property, and the environment while enhancing the quality of life and safety for the Long Beach community. With a commitment to core values such as respect, teamwork, and family, the department actively responds to fire, medical, beach, and waterway emergencies throughout the city. In addition to emergency response, the department emphasizes prevention education and preparedness services to foster community safety. Through various outreach programs and initiatives, the Long Beach Fire Department strives to engage and educate residents while maintaining a strong presence across the city.
