BEAUMONT POLICE OFFICER ASSOCIATIONS
There are two police officer associations within the Beaumont Police Department. The majority of the department's officers belong to both associations. Each association has a different function and serves different needs of the officer members. At least once a year each association conducts a fund raiser. It is suggested that those citizens who wish to support Beaumont police officers through monetary contributions donate to one or both of these associations. Before donating any money or item to someone who says he/she is representing the Beaumont Police Department, citizens are urged to call the department's Police Community Relations Unit at 409-880-3825 and confirm the validity of the solicitation.
