The Santa Clara Police Department is part of a team effort from your City government to make Santa Clara a pleasant and safe place to live. I am proud to say that your police department is committed to a problem-solving approach to policing that addresses quality of life issues in our community. To me, this means having an open and continuing dialogue with you. With outreach programs such as our Neighborhood Watch, Business Watch, DARE, Volunteers, and the Citizens' Police Academy, we involve our citizens in how policing is done in Santa Clara. In furtherance of this goal, we would like to know how you think we are doing in policing Santa Clara.

The Santa Clara Police Department and CrimeReports.com announce a new On-line Crime Alerting and Mapping Service that provides easy to read incident crime maps and automated alerts.  Neighborhood crime data is available in near real-time. The URL for this service is located at http://www.crimereports.com

The personnel of the Santa Clara Police Department stand ready to serve the Mission City to keep our families and businesses safe and successful. Please see the bios page for additional information about Stephen D. Lodge and the Command Staff.

In our ongoing effort to provide you with the best service possible, we are pleased to introduce Online Reporting. Using this system you will be able to create a report for crimes that have no known suspects or witnesses and are not in progress. However, if at any time you feel you would be more comfortable speaking to an officer, please discontinue the report and call us at (408) 615-4700.
