Police
The City of Bedford Heights Division of Police provides 24-hour per day professional law enforcement and public safety for our City.
The 35 members of the Police Department serve both the residents and businesses of the City. The Police Department has at least four officers scheduled on duty per shift. The Police Department has several programs to assist businesses in the community. Officers who work in the Detective Bureau may assist businesses with any crimes to property or persons, including check forgery. As an additional service, businesses may connect an alarm system directly to the Police Department dispatch.
The City also participates in the C.O.P.S. Grant Program that brings police officers into the community on a daily basis. The Department is a member of S.E.A.L.E. (Southeast Area Law Enforcement) Bomb Squad and SWAT Team. These employees are fully trained with state-of-the-art equipment available 24 hours per day. The dispatch center is equipped with an enhanced "911" C.A.D. (Computer Aided Dispatch) system, which will allow for a faster response time than the prior average of three minutes per call. All department cruisers are equipped with laptops to expedite information for full efficiency within the community.
