Beaumont Police Department keeps detailed records about each incident that occurs in our jurisdiction. When an incident happens, the records are kept with information about the event including the location, people involved, related vehicles and other useful information. 

This information is stored in large secure databases, which can make it difficult for the department to share crime data and other pubic information with the community.
