In the comparison years of 2004 and 2005, the City of St. Pete Beach’s UCR Crime Index was reduced by 13.2%. This outstanding community statistic is a result, in part, of the wonderful partnership that the residents and visitors of St. Pete Beach have with the men and women of the St. Pete Beach Police Department. Another, and very important element, is the dedicated, hard work of the men and women of the Department. Both the community and the men and women of the St. Pete Beach Police Department should be very proud of this accomplishment.
