Belleair PD to Clearwater Jail

Belleair has its own police department (BPD) serving this exclusive Pinellas County town on the Intracoastal Waterway south of Clearwater. All arrests transport to the Pinellas County Jail in Clearwater, about 15 minutes east. BPD operates from 901 Ponce de Leon Boulevard.

Belleair Country Club

Belleair surrounds the Belleair Country Club and the historic Belleview Inn (formerly Belleview Biltmore). The town is highly residential and affluent. BPD maintains a strong community policing presence, focusing on property protection and traffic enforcement on Ponce de Leon Boulevard.

Clearwater Neighbor

Belleair borders Clearwater to the north and east. The contrast between busy Clearwater and quiet Belleair means BPD strictly enforces town speed limits and ordinances. Cross-jurisdictional arrests with Clearwater PD (CPD) occur near the boundaries.

Intracoastal Waterway

Belleair features waterfront estates along the Intracoastal Waterway overlooking Clearwater Harbor. FWC patrols the waterway for BUI and boating safety. There is no public beach access in Belleair, keeping transient traffic low compared to the barrier islands.

Pinellas County Clerk

The Pinellas County Clerk at (727) 464-7000 handles case lookups. The Pinellas County Justice Center at 14250 49th Street N in Clearwater is adjacent to the jail. Belleair's small population means very few arrests process through the system from BPD.

Historic Belleview Biltmore

The site of the historic Belleview Biltmore hotel, now redeveloped as the Belleview Inn and surrounding condominiums, is a central feature of Belleair. The redevelopment increased the town's population density. BPD provides dedicated patrol to the residential neighborhoods, maintaining the town's reputation for strict ordinance enforcement. The Pinellas Trail runs through Belleair, generating recreational activity.
