Belvedere Police Department
In 1897 the then town Marshall, Marshal Mc Lean, was
paid $20.00 a month in addition to "
such fees as he may be entitled
to for the service of any process or for his services as pound keeper
".
Marshall Mc Lean then appointed Frank Crosby as his Deputy Marshall. Marshall
Mc Lean was directed to procure a star and two pairs of handcuffs for Deputy
Marshall Crosby.
It goes without saying that the Belvedere Police Department has come a long
way. The Police Department currently has one Police Secretary, five Officers,
one Sergeant and a Police Chief. The Police Department currently has computers
in vehicles which allow for wireless communication with the Department's dispatchers,
California Department of Justice and Federal Department of Justice agencies.
The Department was the first Law Enforcement Agency in Marin County to deploy
Automatic Early Defibrillators (AED's) into the community via the Police Officers.
The Belvedere Police Department holds a high regard for the quality of service,
the commitment of its personnel and the respect it receives from the community.
