Department careers page ↗The Beverly Hills Department of Public Safety has served the village since 1958 under the motto "Serving with Honor, Courage, and Integrity." Rather than maintaining separate police and fire departments, Beverly Hills operates a fully integrated public safety model: sworn Public Safety Officers respond to police, fire, and EMS calls alike, with the Patrol Division serving as the operational backbone for all three disciplines.
The department runs 24-hour dispatch and patrol coverage, backed by an Investigations Division and a Fire Prevention function that handles residential and commercial inspections, safety checklists, and alarm-system compliance. The department is led by a Director of Public Safety who oversees a staff of 27 and a departmental budget of roughly $5.6 million, reporting to the Village Administrator.
Beverly Hills recently added new fire apparatus (Squad 31, from Alexis Fire Equipment Company) to its fleet, reflecting ongoing investment in the fire side of its combined-service mission alongside its law-enforcement responsibilities.
