Public safety
The Village of Beach park is policed by the Lake County Sheriff's Office. The Village has contracted with the Sheriff's Office to provide additional Deputy Sheriff personnel to patrol the Village during the day. These Deputies are able to call on the resources of multiple deputies, and the members of the Zion, Waukegan and Gurnee Police departments should an emergency require it. The Village has allowed the Deputies to use the Village Hall as a small sub-station, which limits the time Deputies are out of the area. Previously, the deputies had to return to Waukegan or Libertyville for paperwork issues.
The Village of Beach Park is provided fire and EMS protection by the Newport Township Fire Protection District, the Winthrop Harbor Fire Protection District and the Beach Park Fire Protection Districts. The Beach Park Fire Protection District provides 90% of the Village with fire and EMS services. All three districts, with the addition of the Zion Fire-Rescue Department have signed agreements which provide immediate response by one or all four to major emergencies. This protection, provided 24 hours-a-day is one of the best in the State of Illinois.
In early 2006, the Beach Park Fire Protection District asked for and received voter support for a nominal tax increase. This increase made full-time Firefighter/Paramedics a reality. The department was also able to lower the Insurance Services Organization (ISO) rating to a 3. This is one of the lowest in the area and saves residents on homeowners and renter's insurance. The Beach Park Fire Department is taking positive steps by replacing older fire equipment. This will ensure that the residents receive good fire response by newer apparatus.
All departments which provide Fire and Emergency Medical Services are also part of the MABAS Mutual Aid program. This program, funded by member agencies, provides assistance from the local region all the way to national resources. This aid program should make residents and business owners feel secure.
