The foundation of the program is a ten-week curriculum delivered to fifth grade classrooms. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education or DARE Program has been a part of the Beech Grove Police Department since 1994. Please contact the police department for more information. Donations are accepted throughout the year. This program is funded by donations by individuals, businesses and civic organizations. The officers and children then have breakfast together before the children are taken home.

Local disadvantaged children are taken to a local retailer by uniformed police officers who assist the children in selecting much needed clothing items and a single toy. The annual Shop with a Cop Program is held during the Christmas Season. These reports will then be made available to the road patrol officers who will make periodic checks of the residences. Citizens, prior to leaving must call the communications office and make an unattended house report. An example would be while persons are away on vacation. When citizens leave home for an extended period of time they may request a police check of their home during the period they are away. In a positive effort of community relations and for the deterrent of home burglaries the police department will provide for the community a program referred to as the unattended house program. The Beech Grove Crime Watch exists to help educate and organize residents and business owners on how they can do their part in making Beech Grove as safe as possible. This program is part of the CLEAN Community Challenge that the City of Beech Grove is participating in through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM).
