Mission Statement
The Carolina Beach Police Department is committed to being the kind of organization we and the citizens we serve are proud of and believe in; and we intend to represent the best the law enforcement profession has to offer; and where all employees, regardless of rank or job classification, have an opportunity to contribute, learn, grow, and receive recognition for accomplishment; and maintain the highest standards of performance and ethics in our personal and professional conduct; and where the citizens we serve are treated with dignity and respect.

We will actively participate in a partnership with the community to identify factors contributing to crime; create and implement action strategies that reduce crime and enhance the quality of life for all individuals, families, and neighborhoods.

We will constantly monitor our progress towards accomplishing this Mission.


Community Oriented Policing
The Carolina Beach Police Department’s Mission Statement goes hand in hand with our commitment to the implementation of our Community Oriented Policing philosophy. Some of these philosophies include the “Senior Outreach Program” that allows our senior citizens or their families to enlist our services on a daily basis which an officer will spend time with those that may need companionship, checking on living conditions, and keeping up with their general health and welfare. We keep emergency listings of family members in case we feel they should be informed of any unforeseen problems or unfavorable conditions. Our Criminal Investigation Division is active with the “Community Watch Program” in which they work with neighborhood organizations during the year to establish community watch programs and get them up and running. Groups are instructed on Crime Prevention techniques on residential security, personal theft security, and property identification. Another program implemented “Citizen Contact” where all police officers do a “walk and knock” to area merchants and citizens within the community. Here they introduce themselves on a one-on-one basis and assist citizens on any issues or concerns they may have and hopefully solve any problems they may have regardless of the nature of the concern.
