ChiefWelcome to your police departments’ website. Since September 4th 2007 we have worked very hard towards improving our Community Policing Program as well as strengthening our Community Watch Program. As our off-season approaches I would like to remind our full time residents how important our Community Watch Program will be in assisting your police department by reporting things that are out of the norm or out of sorts. Often times citizens contact us after the fact with information which may have prevented damage or property loss in our community. There is nothing wrong with calling to let us know something seems to be out of place or just not right. We would rather respond and find there’s nothing wrong than not to respond only to learn at a later period in time one of our residents has lost a great deal of property due to a break in. Maj. Jeff Harvey heads up these programs and recently completed the delivery of a our first Citizens Academy during my period of service. If you are interested in volunteering for one of these programs please contact Jeff at (252) 726-2523. Again if you see anything out of sorts or place please contact us immediately. Remember we are here to serve and protect. If you have questions about services we provide (or may not provide) please feel free to contact me and I will be glad to listen and discuss concerns and ideas. We are always interested in your thoughts and ideas.
Best Regards, Chief of Police policechief@atlanticbeach-nc.com ph: 252-726-2523 fax: 252-727-0312
