Dear Citizens and Visitors,
Welcome
to the Belen Police Department's web page. As the chief law
enforcement officer for the City of Belen, it is my duty to protect
the lives and property of all citizens, and to enforce all local,
state and federal laws. This website is one of the many tools that
our department utilizes to communicate with the citizens, visitors
and others we diligently serve.
I strive to run our department with sound
principals and I am fortunate to have police officers that are
dedicated, and do their jobs with compassion, ethics, and morals
without prejudice and bias.
We are a full service department that takes
great pride in offering high quality, highly trained and
well-equipped professional police officers to the citizens of Belen.
We are committed to being the best Police Department in the area.
We take a personal approach to policing, with many citizens calling
officers by their first names.
We are committed toward improving the quality of life for all citizens and seek continual improvement of our services; and ask for your input to help us achieve our goals. The door to my office is always open. I encourage anyone who would like to speak with me to contact me at the Belen Police Department with any questions, concerns, or suggestions you might have. Take a few moments visit our website and take our Citizen Satisfaction Survey by clicking the link below.

Identity Theft |

The US Postal Service reported that in 2004 consumers lost $5 Billion due to incidents evolving Identity Theft. On average, victims spend at least 30 hours cleaning up after an identity crime. People worry about someone running thousands of dollars on their credit card or thief’s accessing their bank accounts without anyone knowing about it. Today there is a lot of reason to worry. All a clever thief needs is a Social Security Number to commit identity theft. Although the crime is relative easy to commit, investigating it and prosecuting it is very complex and time consuming. Watch this one minute video and
then download and read the accompanying pamphlet “Preventing
Identity Theft: A Guide for Consumers” to learn what you
can do to
prevent Identity Theft. This message is brought to you by the Belen
Police Department and the National Crime Prevention Council.
And a “Take a Bit out of Crime”. |
The Neighborhood Watch program is a
community-based program that has proven to deter crime. The program
encourages residents to look out for each other, to take an active
roll in the safety of their neighborhood and by watching for unusual
activity, helps reduce burglaries and robberies.
Through the Neighborhood Watch program
citizens learn how to take preventative measure that substantially
decreases the likelihood of them becoming a victim. They learn how
to make their homes more secure, and to look out for each other.
Meetings are determined by the neighborhood
and include discussions on drugs, gangs, child safety and identity
theft. An Officer is involved in the Neighborhood Watch program,
which brings neighbors together as friends and helps rekindle the
spirit of “community” that many areas in Belen have lost over the
years.
