City of Bel Aire

Bel Aire Police Department
Crime PreventionThe Bel Aire Police Department is currently offering our Neighborhood Community Policing Complaint Form, for our citizens to report ongoing problems that may have been seen recently within their neighborhoods, or while they were working or visiting within Bel Aire. We have designed this form, with the purpose of allowing our community members to report ongoing problems within their neighborhood that, do not present an immediate danger to the public. We have also designed the form so that we can properly track problems areas, and follow the progress of the various steps that have been taken to correct them.

After completed, the Neighborhood Community Policing Complaint Form will be reviewed to determine if it is new, or represents an ongoing issue that has already been reported. We will then try to evaluate the problem to see if it can be addressed using traditional policing methods, or if it would be better addressed using resources, like those from other city or county departments, school groups, charitable organization, neighborhood watches, senior citizen groups, or even local businesses. We believe that, although a complaint may have a traditional policing method that can be used as a response, it may not be the most efficient way to address the problem, and there may be other methods that compliment the enforcement approach of traditional policing. 

The Bel Aire Police Department hopes this form will not only allow the community to report ongoing problems, but will give them an opportunity to volunteer in the problem-solving process. We would like our residents to notify us on this form if they would be willing to directly assist us in addressing the problem in areas such as crime prevention, handing out crime bulletins or surveys, or even helping to repair damaged park equipment. 

Some visitors of our site, hopefully will notice some reoccurring themes throughout, and will understand that this form is a small part of our larger community policing efforts. We believe that problem-solving steps within our community begin with the members of our community not just reporting problems within their neighborhood, but suggesting solutions to those same problems. We hope that by taking the small step of completing this form you can help our department, our city government, and our neighborhoods identify public safety concerns within the community.
