Message from the Chief
Dear Riviera Beach Residents and Business Owners:
As we close out the 2011/2012 Fiscal Year, It is my pleasure to
present The Riviera Beach Police Department’s Annual Report. The
report outlines the Department’s duties, objectives, and statistics,
including the numbers reflecting a reduction in crime rates, and the
many various accomplishments for the 2011/2012 fiscal year. The
compilation and production of this report is of prime importance in order to keep you, the
“stakeholder,” fully informed regarding your local Police Department and its current and
ongoing progress.
Over the past ten years, we have worked diligently to build a more diverse Police
force, implement the latest in new technologies, work at becoming more customer-oriented,
introduce and enact ways of reducing operating costs, and most importantly, reducing
crime. Focusing on these areas has contributed to enhancing our delivery of Law Enforcement
services as a whole to the community.
As you read through this report, you will be provided with an in-depth, exclusive look into the
general operations of the Department and how our attention and prioritization of services has
resulted in the reduction of crime. You will also see statistics that reflect how Riviera Beach
compares in various areas to other cities. In addition, I hope that this report will provide
answers to many of the questions that you may have pertaining to our Law Enforcement
operations.
In our continuous efforts to reduce operating costs, this report will be made available both
online and in print (upon request). In closing, these past ten years as your Chief of Police has
served as the highlight of my professional career. We will continue to provide the highest level
of Police Services and keep our commitment to make Riviera Beach a city that you can be
proud to call home, consistent with our mission statement “Service Is Job One”.
Sincerely,
Clarence D. Williams, III,
Chief of Police

Police Advisory Board & VIPS
The RBPD Advisory Board, made up of citizens
from various segments of the city, is a key
component of the Department’s on-going efforts
to provide the best possible service to
the community.
“The Advisory Board provides a perspective that
has enriched the Department’s decision making
process. This is a group that loves Riviera Beach
and is committed to being change agents,” says
Chief Williams.

VOLUNTEERS IN POLICE SERVICE (VIPS)
Verdina Coleman and Danny Jones,
former Assistance Chief (RBPD),
now Deputy City Manager
The Riviera Beach Police Department has had
volunteers in its Citizens Offering Police Services
(COPS) program for many years. Following the
events of 9/11, when President George W. Bush
created the USA Freedom Corps (USAFC) to build
on the countless acts of service, sacrifice, and
generosity of so many Americans, RBPD had a
group of volunteers in place to meet this challenge.
President Bush’s creation of the USAFC was a call
to all Americans to serve a cause greater than
themselves – a theme echoed by the
Obama Administration.
Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) is an
outgrowth of USAFC. The citizens of Riviera
Beach answered the call, volunteering help
ranging from a variety of indoor services to
various on-the-street and waterway services.
VIPS not only enable RBPD to expand its level
of service, they also helped free up time for the
clerical staff to focus on higher-level functions
of the job, and police officers to focus more
aggressively on crimereduction
tactics.

Community Relations
Chief Williams points out that in the days of
neighborhood foot patrols (park walk and talk),
police officers had daily face-to-face contact with
people in the community. “Today, we move through
communities in our “boxes” (polices cars), making it
difficult to establish those invaluable relationships
with people in the community.
RBPD has been successful in reestablishing strong
community relations by becoming an active
member of the community, participating in 36
community events and 110 community meeting in
fiscal year 2012.
Chief Williams, personally, makes himself available
to members of the community by participating in
Community Events
as many community activities as
possible. In addition, Chief Williams,
through his Chief’s Night In program,
is available, along with his executive
team, every Tuesday from 5:00 to
7:00 pm, to anyone who would like
to meet. In 2012, the program
enabled the chief and his executive
team to meet with many residents
and local business owners.
In preannounced visits, the chief
also reaches out to residents
by taking the Mobile Command
Center to many of the City’s
communities during the year.
And, no pre-arranged
appointments are necessary.
Email, Facebook, twitter, and
the website have enhanced
day-to-day communications
with the residents of
Riviera Beach.

Riviera Beach Districts
Divided into districts in 2006,
decentralization of the Department

preventing and solving crime. Now,
officers know their neighborhoods
and have established personal
relationships with the people in
their areas.

CHAPLAINCY
Chaplaincy, Support Services,
Field Operations
The Reverend Dr. Tony Drayton is RBPD’s Chaplain. His scope of work for the Department includes
counseling, crisis response, visiting the sick / injured and death notifications for police officers and
their families, as well as the community-at-large as it relates to law enforcement matters.
SUPPORT SERVICES
The Support Services Bureau divisions and
sections are located within the RBPD’s main
facility, as well as two other off-site locations.
Through continual growth and proactive
reorganization, the Bureau strives to meet the
needs of the Police Department, City
Administration, and the community we serve.
The Support Services bureau consists of eight
sections - Communications, Administration, Code
Enforcement, Records, Property and Equipment,
Evidence, Asset Management, and
Training sections.

FIELD OPERATIONS
Two of the biggest changes in RBPD field
operations are the increased use of new
technology and monthly intelligence meetings
with other police agencies in the area - a
program initiated by Riviera Beach, Palm Beach
Gardens and Jupiter Police Departments.
“Criminals today are mobile, moving from city to
city to city. Law enforcement is now on the same
page by becoming mobile, having intelligence
outlined daily, and passing it on,” said Assistant
Chief (AC) David Harris.
RBPD has had great success with two new types
of technology – Shotspotter (gunfire locating
system) and a real-time camera system deployed
throughout the City. RBPD leads the region in the
use of these crime-fighting tools, and is the only
agency in Palm Beach County with a real-time,
crime intelligence unit.
The system uses both city-owned and privatelyowned
cameras in its network. This approach has
proven to be cost effective and very successful in
helping solve crimes. Originally manned by lightduty
(injured) officers, officers now operate the
cameras on regular rotation. “Soon it will become
a four-officer unit, with a sergeant,” said AC Harris.
Technology, agency collaboration and well trained
personnel have all contributed to the increased
number of arrests and a significant drop in crime.

County-wide crime dropped 17.91% from
2006 at an average rate of 3.77% per year.
In 2006, RBPD made several changes, introduced its district plan (dividing the City into police districts),
implemented new technology and developed a marketing-oriented focus to strengthen community
relations. These efforts played a key role in the City’s significant drop in crime. Since 2006, crime in
Riviera Beach dropped 40%, at an average rate of 9.28% per year.
