History
The Long Beach Police Department, commonly referred to by the acronym LBPD, has been serving the Long Beach, Lido Beach, Point Lookout, and East Atlantic Beach communities since 1911. The Department has several units that work together with the nearby Nassau County Police Department. The department originally started with 36 police officers, who were issued six-shot revolvers. Now, the LBPD has state-of-the-art equipment, including non-lethal weapons. The LBPD revoked its Motorcycle Unit in 1960 and revived it in 2005. It is currently used for the Traffic Unit and ceremonial details. In 2008, the Marine Unit was started. The jail is located inside Police Headquarters. In 2011, the Long Beach Police Department was featured on the television series Speeders.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
