Chief's Advisory Council

The Belmar Police Department is seeking participation from the community for a Police Chief’s Advisory Council. This council shall be made up of representatives of each community police zone, citizen groups, representatives from the business community and the Public Safety Committee persons of the Borough Council.

The purpose of the Council is advisory, and it shall endeavor to maintain a cooperative working relationship with the police department, furthering the exchange of information and ideas between the police department and the community, promoting harmonious police-community relations and working to improve conditions relating to law enforcement in the community.

A. Provide a forum for obtaining citizen opinion with respect to police service and performance through designated representatives.
B. Identify specific existing and potential problems and concerns requiring police attention, which may not be otherwise known to the police through routine channels.
C. Provide the public with a recognized and regular means of communicating with the police department and to encourage direct communication between citizens and the Belmar Police Department.
D. Ensure that Council membership includes an adequate cross section of citizens, citizen groups, and community and business organization representatives in the Belmar area.
E. Provide the police with a means to disseminate information to citizens of the Borough of Belmar.

The Community Policing zone map enclosed identifies specific community policing areas of the borough. Although our officers patrol and respond to situations through the entire town on a routine basis, the community-policing program brings focus of the officers at the working level to specific neighborhoods for problem solving. Each zone will be assigned a squad of officers to be their community policing officers. These officers, under the supervision of a Sergeant, will provide communication between the department and citizens in problem solving and will ensure that things get done efficiently. In the near future officers will be assigned zones for the community policing programs. These assignments will be publicized on the police department web site and newspapers.

Interested residents or business owners are asked to contact the Chief’s office at 732 681-1700, ext 102 for more information concerning the council.
