Message from the Chief

On behalf of all the members of the Brevard Police Department, I want to welcome you to our city.  It is my distinct honor to lead the officers and employees of our agency.  Our department is committed to serving the residents and visitors to the City of Brevard and endeavors to enforce the law, keep the peace, and protect and serve the people who live and visit our fine city.  

My vision for our community and department is to provide the highest quality of police services while adhering to the principles of ethical service and community policing.  As we advance into a new era of policing, our department is constantly evolving and seeking to keep the public safe, enforce laws impartially, and continually improve our ability to serve the community.  We can accomplish this together as a community.  It takes all sides to come together to create safer neighborhoods.  We look forward to partnering with the community to make this happen.

Enjoy Brevard and please reach out to me if you have any concerns or just want to say hello.
