Beverly Hills Police Department Divisions
BHPD is organized into three principal divisions, supported by the Office of the Chief:
- Field Services Division
- Investigative Services Division
- Administrative Services Division
The Office of the Chief includes Professional Standards, Community Relations, Media Relations, reserve officers and disaster-communications volunteers.
1. Field Services Division
The Field Services Division includes:
- Patrol Bureau
- Traffic Bureau
- Jail Operations
Patrol officers provide 24-hour frontline police service. They respond to emergency and routine calls, conduct preventive patrols, enforce laws and prepare initial incident reports.
An officer arriving at a crime scene may:
- Assist victims and injured people
- Secure the location
- Search for suspects
- Interview witnesses
- Collect preliminary evidence
- Review nearby security cameras
- Prepare the original police report
- Arrest or detain a suspect when legally justified
Specialized Field Services units include the Bike Unit, K-9 Unit, SWAT, Crisis Negotiation Team and Field Training Officers.
The Traffic Bureau enforces traffic laws, investigates collisions and helps manage traffic flow. Its operations include motorcycle officers, traffic-control personnel, accident investigators, commercial enforcement and red-light enforcement.
Jail Operations manages the booking, secure detention and care of people held in BHPD custody.
2. Investigative Services Division
The Investigative Services Division consists of:
- Detective Bureau
- Technology Services Bureau
- Property and Evidence Unit
- Identification Bureau
Detectives investigate cases requiring additional work after the initial patrol response. Cases may involve:
- Homicide
- Robbery
- Serious assault
- Burglary
- Vehicle theft
- Fraud
- Sexual offences
- Domestic violence
- Crimes involving children
- Missing persons
- Organized property crime
- Digital or financial evidence
A police report is not automatically assigned to a detective. Assignment may depend on the seriousness of the offence, whether a suspect can be identified, the availability of physical or digital evidence and the existence of workable investigative leads.
The Technology Services Bureau includes the Real Time Watch Center, Intelligence Unit and crime analysts. These resources help officers assess incidents, identify patterns and obtain real-time information.
The Identification Bureau documents crime scenes, processes evidence and supports investigations involving property crimes and offences against people.
3. Administrative Services Division
The Administrative Services Division manages:
- Police Records
- Emergency communications
- Recruitment and personnel
- Employee training
- Policy compliance
- Department budgeting
- Administrative support
The Communications Bureau receives emergency and non-emergency calls for both police and fire services. Dispatchers gather the incident location, determine the urgency of the situation and send appropriate personnel.
The Records Bureau stores police reports, enters information into law-enforcement databases, processes arrest-related documents and provides legally releasable records to authorized requesters.
What County Is Beverly Hills Police Department In?
The Beverly Hills Police Department is located in Los Angeles County, California.
BHPD serves locations inside the legal boundaries of Beverly Hills. It is separate from the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The Sheriff’s Department operates the county jail system and provides police services to unincorporated communities and contract cities. The City of Los Angeles, including nearby areas such as Westwood and much of Hollywood, is normally served by the Los Angeles Police Department.
West Hollywood is a separate city that receives law-enforcement service from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
An address may use Beverly Hills as its mailing city without being located inside Beverly Hills city limits. The exact location where the incident occurred determines which agency should take the report.
Filing a Beverly Hills Police Report
A police report may be initiated by:
- Calling 911 during an emergency
- Calling 310-550-4951 for a non-emergency
- Visiting the police station
- Speaking directly with an officer
The department’s current online-services directory provides forms for lost property, evidence submission, property-release requests, public-records requests and traffic collision reports. It does not currently advertise a broad online self-reporting system for ordinary crimes such as theft, vandalism or burglary. Therefore, a person needing an official crime report should contact BHPD by telephone or visit the station. This is an inference from the department’s published online-service options.
Call the non-emergency number rather than using a general online contact form when:
- A suspect is known
- Security video identifies a person or vehicle
- Physical evidence may need collection
- An entire vehicle was stolen
- A firearm was lost or stolen
- A home or business was entered
- The incident requires an officer’s assessment
After filing, keep the police case number. It may be required when contacting detectives, submitting evidence, requesting records or making an insurance claim.
Obtaining Police and Collision Reports
Police-report requests are handled by:
- BHPD Records Bureau
- 464 N. Rexford Drive
- Beverly Hills, CA 90210
- Telephone: 310-285-2184
The requester should provide:
- Police case number
- Incident date and approximate time
- Exact location
- Names of involved people
- Type of record requested
- Valid identification
- Proof of involvement or authorization
California law may restrict access to active investigations, juvenile records, witness information, medical details and protected victim information.
Traffic collision reports can be purchased through the department’s authorized online provider. Questions concerning collision-report copies can be directed to 310-285-2187. Other police reports should be requested through Records.
Property, Evidence and Vehicle Releases
The Property and Evidence Unit is located at the main police station and can be contacted at 310-285-2120.
Property is released by appointment, generally on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The owner must present valid government-issued photo identification and proof of ownership. A third party may collect property with proper authorization and a notarized letter.
Evidence cannot normally be released until the assigned detective, prosecutor or court removes the hold.
Vehicle-release responsibilities depend on why the vehicle was impounded. Records handles many parking and driver-related tows, while the Detective or Traffic Bureau may handle vehicles connected with investigations, DUI cases or serious traffic matters.
Current basic administrative release fees begin at $153, while an investigative release costs $213. Towing and daily storage fees are separate. A vehicle owner who believes the impound was improper generally has ten days from the notice to request a hearing.
Complaints About Beverly Hills Police Conduct
Complaints involving a BHPD employee may be filed:
- Online
- In person
- By telephone
- Through a hard-copy complaint form
- With any department employee
- Through the City of Beverly Hills
- Through the Human Relations Commission
Questions about the process can be directed to the Professional Standards Unit at 310-285-2112 or 310-285-2127.
A useful complaint should include the incident date, time, location, employee description, badge number if known, report or citation number, witness details and available recordings.
After the investigation, a commanding officer reviews the findings and submits a recommendation to the police chief. The complainant is notified of the disposition within 30 days after the final decision.
Beverly Hills Jail and County Custody
BHPD operates a municipal jail as part of its Field Services Division. The jail is used for booking and secure temporary detention.
A person arrested by BHPD may be:
- Released with a citation
- Released after posting bail
- Released on recognizance
- Taken to court
- Transferred to another agency
- Transferred into Los Angeles County custody
Records personnel process documents required for releases from the Beverly Hills jail. For information concerning a recent arrest, contact BHPD at 310-550-4951 or Records at 310-285-2184.
After transfer to the Los Angeles County jail system, custody information is available from the Sheriff’s Department at 213-473-6100.
