Our Team

Consistently rated as one of the safest cities in the Southwest, the Surprise Police department works closely with the community.

The Beat Team Concept was developed to open up the lines of communication between citizens and Officers. By having Officers committed to a single beat for one year, it allows the Officer to become better acquainted with the citizens they serve.

By detecting potential problems early, the Patrol Officer is able to act as a deterrent to criminal activity and develop programs to allow for a better quality of living for all citizens within their Beat Team assignment.
