Community Partnership
Partnering with the community is a core value of the City of Myrtle Beach Police Department along with all the law enforcement agencies across the Grand Strand. Key aspects of this partnership are crime prevention and communication.
“We, the men and women of the Myrtle Beach Police Department, are committed to enhancing the quality of life through community partnerships, and public safety – while preserving the peace, and protecting the Constitutional and Civil Rights of the those we serve.”
— Chief Amy Prock, Myrtle Beach Police Dept.
Both residents and the business community are partners in preventing crime and can do this by open communication.
Pick up the phone and report any suspicious activity. If you are concerned, the police are concerned that you are concerned. The sooner the police know of suspicious activity, the more likely they will be able to prevent a potential crime or apprehend a suspect.
Along with dialing 9-1-1, residents can call their local police department’s non-emergency numbers.
Residents can also follow law enforcement agencies on social media to receive communication. City of Myrtle Beach Police Facebook page.
Additional opportunities for community involvement include Neighborhood Watch, Community Ambassador program, Citizens Police Academy, or going for a ride-a-long with a patrol officer.
