ABPD E-Watch

The Atlantic Beach Police Department has created a new and innovative Community Watch Program called ABPD E-Watch. This program will allow the police department to use electronic mail (e-mail) to rapidly communicate with E-Watch participating residents and businesses of Atlantic Beach. The goal of this program is to utilize electronic mail to communicate with residents about issues concerning their neighborhoods or to the Atlantic Beach community as a whole. the  Atlantic Beach Police have developed geographic divisions for the entire town. Residents and businesses of Atlantic Beach benefit from this program by receiving timely public safety e-mails regarding issues that concern their neighborhood or business. For example; if a neighborhood experiences a rash of vehicle break-ins, the police department can send an e-mail to residents and businesses in that district or other districts to advise them of these crimes and possible suspect or suspect vehicle descriptors. With this program, the participants in ABPD E-Watch become additional eyes for the police department in helping to apprehend the suspect and prevent future similar crimes. E-Watch will allow the police department to rapidly alert participating businesses of check cashing scams, credit card fraud and other crimes that affect businesses. It’s easy to participate in ABPD E-Watch. Simply e-mail Sgt. Jeff Harvey  with your name, AB address and the e-mail address (s) where you prefer to receive your E-Watch notifications and we will add your e-mail into a division group e-mail list. In addition to this, anonymous crime tips can be e-mailed to Lt. Shawn Reaume Your voluntary participation in this new community policing service will help us continue to strengthen our relationships with the community, reduce crime and improve quality of life issues for our citizens, businesses and guests.
