    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..

    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. 

    Motor Vehicle Theft Task Force: With motor vehicle thefts happening at an alarming rate across the country and in King County, the Bellevue Police Department created a specialized motor vehicle theft initiative specifically targeted to this problem.

    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.
