A New Beat

A look back at the 2013/2014 accomplishments of the Harrisonburg Police Department. Since 2013, geographic policing has been well underway with the formation of seven beats from the original four. Sergeants and Corporals have been assigned their beats and each have a group of officers that work within that beat. This familiarity has provided the opportunity for the officers to establish relationships which improve the communication between the beat officer and the public. This increased communication between the police and the public emphasizes our goal of providing a safe and prosperous community for its residents and businesses. In this report, you will find many such examples of the great work being performed throughout the Harrisonburg Police Department.
