    The needs of Bellevue's residents are changing, with the population continuing to grow more diverse and equity becoming essential. Homelessness and mental illness — related issues — call for regular attention from the police force. In addition, some crimes, including catalytic converter theft, have emerged as problems requiring innovative solutions..

    Local police departments hold a news conference about a task force to counter catalytic converter thefts.

    In response, the police department has taken on initiatives to address today's pressing safety and security issues.

    Community Crisis Assistance Team: To address a dramatic increase in the number of calls involving individuals in crisis, the Bellevue police launched a successful pilot program featuring a Community Crisis Assistance Team, specially trained officers and mental health professionals from Bellevue Fire CARES. 

    Police Advisory Councils: Since 2016, police advisory councils representing African American, Muslim, Latino/Latina, LGBTQI+, Interfaith, Asian/Pacific Islander, and South Asian residents help guide the department's decision- and policy-making. 

    Project CATCON ID: To address a spike in catalytic converter thefts, Bellevue police are partnering with local businesses including car dealerships, which can etch digits from a car's vehicle identification number on the  catalytic converter and highlight it with bright paint. 

    Use of Force Policy Reforms: Following an independent review of Bellevue police policies in 2020, the department has been modifying its policies to ensure residents are served equitably.
