POLICE/FIRE DEPARTMENT TRAINING

The Beverly Hills Department of Public Safety is a community-oriented department under the direction and supervision of the Director of Public Safety. Our department currently consists of six sworn officers and five civilian employees. Our officers are triple-trained as police- fire fighters, arson investigators and emergency medical personnel.

TRAINING:

Our paid fire fighters are professionally trained and certified by the Texas Commission of Fire Protection. Our volunteers meet bi-weekly to attend training sessions conducted by fellow volunteers or fire certified personnel. They participate in classroom and hands-on sessions involving SCBA's, pump operations, rescue and fire suppression.

The fire department recognizes that training is a vital part of being a volunteer firefighter. We assist and encourage volunteers to attend additional training. Each year, if funds are available, they are given the opportunity to attend Texas A&M Fire School, which allows them to observe and participate in learning experiences, which they then can apply to their own department.
