As Atlantic City welcomes residents and visitors for the busy Fourth of July weekend and the remainder of the summer season, public safety remains the city's top priority.

The Atlantic City Beach Patrol is fully sworn in and on duty, with guarded beaches on every block to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Lifeguards are on duty from 10AM to 6PM daily.

In addition, the City of Atlantic City and Casino Reinvestment Development Authority's (CRDA) seasonal public safety initiative has returned for the summer. The program places additional police officers throughout the Tourism District during peak tourism season, providing an increased law enforcement presence in high-traffic areas.

Mayor Marty Small, Sr. encourages everyone to have fun, stay safe and enjoy all the city has to offer this holiday weekend and beyond. All city buildings will be closed on Friday, July 3rd and will reopen on Monday, July 6th.
