A Message from the Chief

Over the past few years, our officers and civilians have endured one of the most trying times in law enforcement’s history. American has dealt with many cities wanting to reform, defund, or disband their police departments. In general, the Beaumont Police Department is blessed with amazing support from our city leaders and citizens. We want citizens to know that their safety and well-being are our top priority and have many programs designed with that goal in mind. Through our Cops and Kids program, we aim to help children realize that we are the good guys and we’re here to help. We design our community initiatives with the aim of establishing relationships. By getting our citizens on board, we can make Beaumont safer. I am honored to serve and work alongside the dedicated police officers and civilians of the Beaumont Police Department. Know that we stand ready to answer the call to serve and will continue providing premiere law enforcement services 24 hours, seven days a week, year round.

– James Singletary, Police Chief

Neighborhood Associations

Neighborhood associations give residents a forum to discuss concerns and network with neighbors. Beaumont PD serves as staff liaisons to facilitate two-way communication between the city and residents.

Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas

BPD works closely with Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas, which encourages citizens to make anonymous tips for cash rewards that lead to arrests and solving crime. You can submit a tip by phone (833-TIPS), on their website, 833Tips.com, or on their app.

100 Club of Southeast Texas

The 100 Club provides emotional and financial support for the dependents and family of first responders who tragically pass or are injured in the line of duty. The club originated after the fatal shooting of a young officer when a local businessman wrote to 100 friends encouraging them to donate to a fund for the family. The response was 100%.
