“The City of Riviera Beach Police Department Community-Oriented Policing Unit is committed to increasing community safety. We rely on cooperation and coordination of public safety activities with all stakeholders within our city.
Building trust, strengthening legitimacy, improving cooperation and coordination of activities are crucial to community stability. Furthermore, the strategy mentioned above reinforces the integrity of our criminal justice system and helps to provide effective and efficient police services.
Community-Oriented Policing has emphasized the increased interaction with the communities we serve, through neighborhood association meetings, inner-city cultural activities, and community youth sporting events. The diversity of representation of such communities, with a particular emphasis on gender, ethnic, religious, cultural, and livelihood diversity, are amongst the most critical assets for sustainable community- oriented policing.
For the Riviera Beach Police Department to be efficient and effective in exercising its duties and responsibilities, it is of critical importance that such obligations are discharged in compliance with set policies that reflect values of the community.”

II. INCREASE PUBLIC TRUST THROUGH TRANSPERANT POLICE PRACTICES

Through this objective, RBPD aims to provide professional, efficient, and effective services to improve accountability before our citizens, stakeholders, and visitors.
III. PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
Individuals who live, work, and play or otherwise have an interest in the community as a volunteer, activists, formal and informal community leaders, residents, visitors, tourists, and commuters—are a valuable resource for identifying community concerns. These factions of the community can help achieve specific goals at town hall meetings, neighborhood association meetings, and storefronts in the city.
Advocacy and community-based organizations that provide services to the community and advocate on its behalf can be powerful partners. These groups often work with or are composed of individuals who share common interests and can include such entities as victim groups, service clubs, support groups, issue groups, advocacy groups, community development corporations, and the Faith-Based community.
IV. PARTNERING WITH PRIVATE BUSINESSES
For-profit businesses also have a significant stake in the health of the community. They can be critical partners because they often bring considerable resources to bear in addressing problems of mutual concern. Businesses can help identify issues and provide support for responses, often including their security technology and community outreach. The local chamber of commerce and visitor centers can also assist in disseminating information about police and business partnerships, initiatives, and crime prevention practices.
