BPD Safe Place

Bremerton Police Department (BPD) Safe Place is a partnership with the Bremerton business community and schools. The program aims to create safe locations for individuals to visit if they feel they have been the victim of hate (or bias) crimes. 

Participants place an easily recognizable decal in their entrances. This symbol is a signal for victims of hate crimes that the location has partnered with the police, will call 911 on their behalf and allow them a safe place to stay on the premises  until the police arrive.

Participation is FREE and open to businesses, social service organizations, schools and government agencies in the City of Bremerton. This program is not designed, or authorized, for individual and/or residential use.
