Press Release- Calls for Service Procedure Changes
To follow the current recommendations in response to COVID-19 the Town of Beloit Police Department is taking steps to reduce face-to-face contact for non-priority calls for service. Effective immediately our officers will make phone contact with citizens for non-emergency and non-priority calls such as civil disputes, lost property, animal complaints, thefts, etc. Officers will respond in person to these types of calls if necessary or if more detailed follow up is needed. Citizens may also visit our website at townofbeloit.org/citizen-self-report to submit a report online.
This does not change our response for emergency or priority calls for service. Officers will still respond in person to emergency and priority calls.
This change is an effort to reduce the possibly of exposure to our citizens and to our officers. We are also taking additional precautions to ensure our citizens and officers reduce their risk of infection by supplying our officers with personal protection equipment and disinfectant supplies.
It is important that we come together as a community and follow the recommended guidelines in order to reduce the spread of this virus.
